Get The Length of an Array – The count() Function

In PHP, you can get the length of an array (i.e., the number of elements in the array) using the count() function.

Here’s an example of how to use count() to get the length of an array:

$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$length = count($numbers);
echo "The length of the array is: " . $length;

In this example, we create an array of numbers and assign it to the variable $numbers . We then use the count() function to get the length of the array and assign it to the variable $length. Finally, we use echo to output the length of the array.

The count() function can also be used to count the number of elements in a string, object, or other data types. However, it will always return 1 for a scalar value (e.g., an integer or a string).
