Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- Here is an iterative soloution of danny's count_recursive function which might be more efficient due to the missing recursion <?php /** * counts elements of an multidimensional array * * @param array $array Input Array * @param int $limit dimensions that shall be considered (-1 means no limit ) * @return int counted elements */ function multicount ($array, $limit = -1) { $cnt = 0; $limit = $limit > 0 ? (int) $limit : -1; $arrs[] = $array; for ($i=0; isset($arrs[$i]) && is_array($arrs[$i]); ++$i) { foreach ($arrs[$i] as $value) { if (!is_array($value) ) ++$cnt; elseif( $limit==-1 || $limit>1 ) { if( $limit>1 ) --$limit; $arrs[] = $value; } } } return $cnt; } ?>
