how to get the number of values in an array after i use explode

[reddymade]

I have the following variable which has three areacodes in it:
$areacode = "305,954,786"

$array = explode(",", $areacode);

after i explode $areacode, How to get the info. how many areacodes are there in($areacode). in the above example it is 3 area codes (305, 954, 786)

$array[0] equals 305
$array[1] equals 954
$array[2] equals 786

Thank you very much for the info.

Hi THere,

Why don't you just look in the manual under array functions (e.g., www.php.net/array), and you will find the function count(), which is what you are looking for because:

count
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

count -- Count elements in an array, or properties in an object
Description
int count ( mixed var [, int mode] )

Returns the number of elements in var, which is typically an array, since anything else will have one element.
