note 110240 added to function.count

jezed at email dot cz you gave a great example, but you missed one particular thing: performance... <?php $data = array( "apples" => array("red", "yellow", "pineapples"), "bananas" => array("small", "medium", "big"), "vegs" => array("potatoes", "carrots", "onions") ); $rows = count($data,0); $cols = (count($data,1)/count($data,0))-1; print "There are {$rows} rows and {$cols} columns in the table!"; ?> is slower than <?php $data = array( "apples" => array("red", "yellow", "pineapples"), "bananas" => array("small", "medium", "big"), "vegs" => array("potatoes", "carrots", "onions") ); $cols = (count($data,1)/($rows = count($data,0)))-1; print "There are {$rows} rows and {$cols} columns in the table!"; ?> in this way, you will get BOTH $cols and $rows and you reduced the code in 1 count... in terms of performance with a 3x3 array, it's no problem, but a 50x50 array, it might hit performance... ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 95.136.43.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110240 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110240 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110240 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
