[SOLVED] quick question

[joebudden]

is there any way to count the occurences of a certain character into a variable ???

 

$string = (1,2,3,4,5);

$test = explode(",", $string);

 

in this example there are 4 commas

 

any help please

[fert]

$count=0;
foreach($test as $t)
{
if($t==',') $count++;
}

I'm sure there are easier ways of doing it, but what kind of php is this?

$string = (1,2,3,4,5);
