[ciapug] counting array elements using count()

[Darcy Baston]

Hi guys, TGIF!

My brain's not working today. I've been using count() for counting array elements for several weeks and all of a sudden, it's giving me parse errors?

I have an array called Products. It's two dimensional. Results come from a MySQL query that is returning results. It looks like this:

Products[0][0] = "ProductGroupName"
Products[0][1] = "someIDnumber"
Products[0][2] = "someIDnumber"
Products[0][3] = "someIDnumber"
...
Products[1][0] = "ProductGroupName"
Products[1][1] = "someIDnumber"
Products[1][2] = "someIDnumber"
Products[1][3] = "someIDnumber"
...

What I'm having trouble with that's generating parse errors is:

$variable = sizeof($Products[0]);

If I comment that line out, everything works/runs fine. Put it back in and parse error is triggered.

I've done that before with a variable that loads records line by line from a CSV ile using something like:

foreach($lines as $field){
   $allFields[]=Explode($separator, $field);
}

$lineCount=sizeof($allFields);      // counts lines
$fieldCount=sizeof($allFields[0]); // counts columns in first row

Without generating any parse errors, and it works just great. So why am I getting parse errors the other way to do you think?

PHP 4.3.2
MySQL 3.23.58
