Counting Arrays

by David Stanley    

Counting the number of elements in an array uses a command called count.

First we will start with our original pantry array :

<?php
$pantry = array(
   1 => "apples",
   2 => "oranges",
   3 => "bananas"
   );
?>

Now to count how many elements are in this array...

<?php
$total_elements = count($pantry);
echo "There are $total_elements elements in the array.";
?>
