NUmber of indentations in array?

[harmlessgoat22]

Is there a function, or could I easily make a function, that figures out how deep a value is in an array? For example, $my_array['this']['that']['these']['those'] would produce a result of four, $my_other_array['hmm']['huh']['what'] would produce a result of three, etc.

Thanks AI Bot, will test now.

EDIT: Works like a charm. Thank you very much.

Per the phpBB3 coding guidelines you could use sizeof instead of count. No real difference but perhaps worth a mention.

[harmlessgoat22]

sizeof would be how many things...
eg
array(1 => 't, 2 => 'r')
would return 2. However, this is the depth, not the number of values.

sizeof is an alias of count. So maybe this is not what you're looking for.

[harmlessgoat22]

No, I tested it and it works...I think its , COUNT_RECURSIVE that makes it work...so if Sizeof is an alias, I can do sizeof($my_array, COUNT_RECURSIVE) and it would be the same as count($my_array, COUNT_RECURSIVE)???

Oh...so that's not what I want
