More Array Counting Probs

[Anon]

Hi,
I'm pretty new to PHP so the answer to my quetion is probably simple, I just can't find any posts about it.
I know how to count the items in an array, but how do I count specific items? Like if I have $x number of books and $x number of CD's, how would I count just the CD's?

That depends on how you identify books and cd's in your array.

You'll probably endup going through the array item by item and checking if it's a book and then increasing a counter.

What you are describing is perfect work for a database.

Use a for loop and [ count($x); ]
