PHP array length or size count

Array is very flexible and any time we can add element to array  or remove element from an array. So we must know what are the present number of elements in an array. To know the total length or total element in an array we have to use count command.

We will first create an array like this

$array = array  ("ABC","DEF", "GHI", "KLM");

Now we will use the count command to know the number of elements in this array.

print count($array);


This will output 4 as there are four elements inside the array.

You can use sizeof function also to determine the number of values

$value= array(2,5,6,8,9);
echo "size of array = ".sizeof($value)."<br>"; // Output = 5

The above line output will be 5

We can findout the sum of the elements of an array by using array_sum() function

In ASP UBound function is used to get the size of an array

i m confused about one thing ... plz help me out

i am using an array for displaying the records in a loop. but i need to count an array printing the same value of records (means how many times the same value is being printed by the array)...

is there any particular way to do so ?

You can use array_count_values function for this. There is a link to this tutorial inside Further readings section.

If any PHP code is getting executed inside tpl file then this will also work.
