Using count/sizeof on special arrays.

[Anon]

The problem I'm having is I am using preg_match_all, which returns a multi-dimensional array.

I need to count/sizeof $array[1] so I can do something like $array[1][$i] in a for loop.

Doing a sizeof($array) returns how many first level elements there are, and sizeof($array[1]) doesn't seem to do anything different.

Help?

Try looping through all elements and counting, something like this:

function sizeof_multi($multi_dimensional_array)
{
$count = array();
foreach ($multi_dimensional_array as $element)
{
$count[] = sizeof($element);
}
return $count;
}

Now, count[x] should contain the number of elements in $multi_dimensional_array[x].
