amen, this behavior makes no sense even though sizeof() is an alias to
count(). sizeof('this') and sizeof('this long thing') are both 1, which
makes no sense. I would go so far as to say a E_NOTICE is more
appropriate than E_STRICT - you should only be using count() for
arrays/objects.
Actually this result makes perfect sense since type conversion changes
string into array('your string') and does a count of that, which is 1.
This is yet another magic type casting I'd like to get rid of..
Strict is not always bad, mmkay? :)
I got bitten by this (unexpected?) behaviour of count() myself this week.
I must have been strict in my mind and not passed anything but arrays
to it before this. :)
