length of an array...

[redgorilla]

Hi,

I have a generated array (which can vary in length upon user input), I want to determine the arrays length. How do I do that?

For example, if I have:

$test = array ();

code ....

so $test becomes full of values

How do I get something like:

$x = $test.length

are you trying to find the length of the array as in how many things are in that array or. To get a particualr array and get its length.

Well to get an arrays length use this http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php to count them..

Other than that explain a little more..

sizeof() works well too.

Yeah, sizeof ($whatever) or count ($whatever) will both return the number of elements in the array $whatever 🙂
