Well, counting is easy... count($issue) will be correct. If you want
to count things that match only specific elements, use things like:
$c=0;
foreach($issue as $what)
if ( $year==2003 && $month>=5 )
$c++;
As I said in the previous email, to sort by array elements, you'd need
to use array_multisort. Something like...
$sortkey=array();
foreach($issue as $what)
$sortkey[]=$what['number'];
array_multisort($issue,$sortkey);
And for looping, foreach is still your best bet:
foreach($issue as $key => $what) {
if ($what['senttosubscribers']==0)
$issue[$key]['description'].=" (EMPTY)";
else
$issue[$key]['description'].=str_replace(" (EMPTY)","",$what['description']);
}
With regard to PHP being "screwey", I haven't found this -- I use
multidimensional arrays quite a bit and find that they behave exactly as
I would predict. Maybe I'm just lucky. ;-)
