Uh -- have you actually tried this? Without doing so myself, I'm 99% sure that
count($issue) will give you the answer you're looking for -- i.e. the number of
different subscripts in the first dimension. From your description of how you expect
count() to work, I suspect you're labouring under a misapprehension about how PHP
arrays are built: in this case, $issue is an array of (x+1) elements, indexed from 0
to x, each element of which just happens to contain an array itself; it's not a single
array of (x+1)*(no. of "string" subscripts) elements. This means you can do something
like
$current = $issue[0]
and $current will be the array of string-subscripted elements contained in $issue[0].

Well, you don't need to know how many there are to do this -- just use foreach:
foreach ($issue as $n=>$elements):
// in here, $elements['number']==$issue[$n]['number'], etc.
endforeach;
Cheers!
