For example when I do:

   strlen(array(1,2,3));

php shows: Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array
given in...

but when I do:

   count('string');

It simply returns 1 like nothing happened. I would expect such
behavior if I write:

   count((array)'string')

but otherwise such behavior is very misleading and inconsistent.


manual : function.count.php

"Returns the number of elements in/var/. If/var/is not an array or an object with implementedCountable <http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.countable.php>interface,/1/will be returned. There is one exception, if/var/is*NULL*,/0/will be returned."
