I would use http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.array-count-values.php

Hi,

I have a code snippet here as follows:

$message="1|2|3|4|5";
$stringChunks = explode("|", $message);

Is it possible to find out the number of elements in this string? It seems
that I could do things like print_r and find out what is the last element of
$stringChunks is, but is there a way where I can use code from the two lines
and have it print out 5 as the number of elements that contains after the
splitting?

Or, am I on the wrong direction here?

Thanks in advance.

Alice
