By your description, count($issue)/count($issue[]) is the number of
real elements.  And a foreach loop will correctly step through whatever
array you pass to it, even if the values of that array are themselves
arrays.  Or could you try something like count(array_keys($issue)) ...
or the loop could be as simple as:

  $count=0; foreach($issue as $junk) $count++;

which is clear, though to my eye is the same as count();

I'm surprised that count($issue) would report something other than the
number of elements in $issue.  I never count my multidimensional arrays
so it's never come up for me.  :-/
