note 37282 added to function.count

with the count function, can you get it to count the number of occurences in an array.. ? say in a guestbook, I have $rows = count ($fileName); but could I somehow change the function to give me the number of posts, but setting a parameter for it to count in the filename like eg. $post = count ($filename, '--------') Where -------- would indicate a new post in the guestbook.. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37282 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37282&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37282&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
