PHP count() function

[mongoose0031800]

Hey all,

 

Why isn't my script outputting any value when I use the following code?

 

$item_count = count($_POST['qty']); die($item_count-1);

 

I've already tested that $_POST['qty'] isn't empty. If I output

count($_POST['qty'])

then it displays a value. But if I try to subtract a value of 1, no value comes out.

 

I swear I've seen people add/subtract values from a count function...am I wrong about this?

 

Thanks!

<?php
$_POST['qty'][] = 3;
$_POST['qty'][]=4;

if(!empty($_POST['qty'])) {
$item_count = COUNT($_POST['qty']) - 1;
}
echo $item_count; //should echo 1;
?>
