Help With MultiDimensional Array

rjs

I am doing an address lookup on a remote server. I have the result put into a multi-dimensional array ($result).

If there is no results from the search print_r($result) displays:

Array
(
    [searchResults] => 
)

If one result is returned print_r($result) displays:

Array
(
    [searchResults] => Array
        (
            [ArrayOfString] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [string] => Array
                                (
                                    [0] => 11101 WEST 580 SOUTH STREET
                                    [1] => 
                                    [2] => OREM
                                    [3] => UT
                                    [4] => 84458
                                    [5] => STATUS
                                )

                    )

            )

    )

)

If more than one result is return print_r($result) returns:

How can I tell if there are 0, 1 or more than one results returned?

I tried this: count($return[searchResults][ArrayOfString])
but that returns a 1 even if there are no results returned.

What is the most efficient way to tell how many results there are in my array?

Thank You.

you have too many levels in your array

skip the [ArrayOf Strings] and the [strings] bits

use:
$search_result[] = $result1;
$search_result[] = $result2;
etc.

print_r( $search_result );
should be like this, one array with 4 sub-arrays (4 results)

then you can simple do
$n = count( $search_result );
... which in this case is 4

Array
(

[0] => Array
    (
        [0] => 11101 WEST 580 SOUTH STREET
        [1] => 
        [2] => OREM
        [3] => UT
        [4] => 84458
        [5] => STATUS
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => 11101 WEST 580 SOUTHWEST STREET
        [1] => 
        [2] => OREM
        [3] => UT
        [4] => 84458
        [5] => STATUS
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [0] => 11101 WEST 1580 EAST STREET
        [1] => 
        [2] => OREM
        [3] => UT
        [4] => 84458
        [5] => STATUS
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [0] => 11101 WEST 5560 NORTH STREET
        [1] => 
        [2] => OREM
        [3] => UT
        [4] => 84458
        [5] => STATUS
    )

to count your original array
if there is some ArrayOfStrings:
$n = count( $result[searchResults][ArrayOfString] );
.. but this still wouldnt work no good,
if zero results, you would get an error

I don't understand.

You said...
use:
$search_result[] = $result1;
$search_result[] = $result2;
etc.

but where does $result1 and $result2 come from?
Just so I clarify.... I am making a SOAP/WSDL request to a server using nusoap... (the wsld server is not mine)

require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
$client = new soapclient('site.wsdl', true);
$param = array('address' => $address,'apt'=>$apt,'city'=>$city,'state'=>$state,'zip'=>$state);
$result = $client->call('getAddressData', array('parameters' => $param), '', '', false, true);

The $result variable is the multidimensional array that is returned from that SOAP request, and from that I need to figure out how many results were given back.
