Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php RTFM: http://php.net/count "There is one exception, if var is NULL, 0 will be returned." http://php.net/array "Converting NULL to an array results in an empty array."

Invoking an array index on NULL *probably* warrants my attention more than doing so on an array. It has cost me countless hours, for one. Reproduce code: --------------- // A $foo = null; count( $foo['bar'] ); // B $foo = array(); count( $foo['bar'] ); Expected result: ---------------- 2 E_NOTICE errors Actual result: -------------- 1 E_NOTICE error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50225&edit=1
