it's not very elegant, but i havent come across any PHP
core function that will do what you asked, so here's a little
loop that will return the total length of a multidimensional
array
$total = 0;
for ($i=0; $i < count($myarray); $i++) {
$total += count( $myarray[$i] );
}
print $total;
in your case, it will (should) print "8"
