note 19633 modified in function.count by philip

Recently, while developing a portion of a script for my project at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/htphp I needed a way to count the number of values in an array. This shouldnt have been a problem except the array was nested with multiple keys inside keys and i didnt want to include the keys in my counting. Only the number of values, empty or otherwise. So, after much stress, i decided to write this recursive function which will return the number of values in a multidimensional array. /* ====================== */ function RCount($item, $key, $reset = FALSE) { static $count = 0; if($reset) { $count = 0; } if(is_array($item)) { array_walk($item, "RCount"); } else { $count++; } return $count; } /* ====================== */ Its easy enough to use, just call: $num = array_walk($this->_AttributesT, "RCount", TRUE); Setting the third argument to true ensures that when you have a new array it doesnt add it on the the result of the last call. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. --was-- Recently, while developing a portion of a script for my project at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/htphp I needed a way to count the number of values in an array.
