No, actually, if it's a string, it's a single item --- thus, 1. The documentation should probably reflect that as well. It wasn't always this way before, though --- in older version of PHP5 it returned 0, and in all versions of PHP4 it did as well. Also, keep in mind that a blank string still constitutes a string and will return 1, but null or nonexistent variables will still return 0. -- </Daniel P.
