• count(array,mode);
Count() Parameters

Parameter Description
array Required. Specifies the array
mode •Optional. Specifies the mode. Possible values:0 - Default. Does not
count all elements of multidimensional arrays
•1 - Counts the array recursively (counts all the elements of
multidimensional arrays)

• <?php
$cars=array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
echo count($cars);
?>
Recursive Count() Example
• <?php
$cars=array("Volvo"=>array("XC60","XC90"),
"BMW"=>array("X3","X5"),
"Toyota"=>array("Highlander"));

echo "Normal count: " . count($cars)."<br>";


echo "Recursive count: " . count($cars,1);
?>
list() Function
• The list() function is used to assign values to a
list of variables in one operation.
– Syntax
• list(var1,var2...)
List() Example
• <?php
$my_array = array("Dog","Cat","Horse");

list($a, $b, $c) = $my_array;

{
echo "Match found";
}
else

internal pointer.
Current() Example
• <?php
$people = array("Peter", "Joe", "Glenn",
"Cleveland");

?>
next() Function
• The next() function moves the internal pointer
to, and outputs, the next element in the array.
Next() Example
• <?php
$people = array("Peter", "Joe", "Glenn",
"Cleveland");

echo current($people) . "<br>";


echo next($people);
?>
prev() Function
• The prev() function moves the internal pointer
to, and outputs, the previous element in the
array.
prev() Example
• <?php
$people = array("Peter", "Joe", "Glenn",
"Cleveland");

echo current($people) . "<br>";


echo next($people) . "<br>";
echo prev($people);
?>
end() Function
• The end() function moves the internal pointer
to, and outputs, the last element in the array.
End() Example
• <?php
$people = array("Peter", "Joe", "Glenn",
"Cleveland");

echo current($people) . "<br>";


echo end($people);

foreach ($numbers as $i)
{
echo $i." ";

– Syntax
• rsort(array,sortingtype);
Rsort() Example
• <?php
$cars=array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
rsort($cars);
?>
asort() Function
• The asort() function sorts an associative array
in ascending order, according to the value.

asort() Example
• <?php
$age=array("Peter"=>"35","Ben"=>"37","Joe"=
>"43");
asort($age);
