Countable::count() example
<?php class myCounter implements Countable { private $count = 0; public function count() { return ++$this->count; } } $counter = new myCounter; for($i=0; $i<10; ++$i) { echo "I have been count()ed " . count($counter) . " times\n"; } ?>
The above example will output something similar to:
