element1 not required
Bruce Morrison ·
It is possible to create empty arrays but excluding element 1. The document is incorrect in sayng that element 1 is required.
count($array)
pike ·
The documentation index doesnt mention count() in the arrays chapter
count() is under miscellaneous .. but it works on arrays
Example 1
{array( 1, 2, 5 )|count()}
The following output will be produced: "3".
