PHP Count Array Elements
16,885
You are assigning $count
to 0 in your conditional statement
Instead of...
if ($count = 0)
Do this
if ($count === 0)

hi can someone explain why this would return "An array consists of 0 elements." :
$arr = array(1,3,5); $count = count($arr); if ($count = 0) { echo "An array is empty."; } else { echo "An array has $count elements."; }
By the way, this is one a quiz i'm working through and i'm not sure why this is the correct answer?
