    <p>I am looking for a way to count the number of items (in PHP) returned in these JSON strings I am getting when searching a database.</p> <p>Forgive me because I'm utterly crap at all of this.</p> <p>I was told because there is no count returned in the JSON version, like there is in the XML one from this database, I would have to use a loop to count the number of results?</p> <p>I've had a look around but nothing seems to fit what I want to do...</p> <p>The following is an example of the strings I get:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [score] =&gt; 12 [popularity] =&gt; 3 [name] =&gt; Samantha Dark [id] =&gt; 151019 [biography] =&gt; [url] =&gt; http://www.themoviedb.org/person/151019 [profile] =&gt; Array ( ) [version] =&gt; 16 [last_modified_at] =&gt; 2011-04-11 17:17:33 ) [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [score] =&gt; 11 [popularity] =&gt; 3 [name] =&gt; Johnny Dark [id] =&gt; 158737 [biography] =&gt; [url] =&gt; http://www.themoviedb.org/person/158737 [profile] =&gt; Array ( ) [version] =&gt; 14 [last_modified_at] =&gt; 2011-04-11 17:18:38 ) ) </code></pre> <p>and if applicable, here's the php I use to request &amp; decipher it</p> <pre><code>$name = $_GET['search']; $persons_result = $tmdb-&gt;searchPerson($name); $persons = json_decode($persons_result); foreach ($persons as $person) { echo '&lt;a href="tmdb_person.php?id='.$person-&gt;id.'"&gt;'.$person-&gt;name.'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;'; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
