count()

[AnotherMuggle]

Can anyone explain to me why I am not able to do this with the count function:

count($this->months)

Thanks,

I'm guessing $this->months doesn't evaluate as an array, maybe a nodelist or some such.

you could var_dump it to find out what it is, then use a relevant function.

It is an array though:

$this->months = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",
"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");

Am I misunderstanding something?

I don't know why it's not working then, only thing I could think of would be to use a temp variable for testing it like so:
$tmp = $this->months;
echo count($tmp);
unset($tmp);

The output is just 0.

EDIT: Sorry, red herring! I realised I had a typo in my constructor function.

try var_dump (http://php.net/var_dump)ing it then, that should work...
