Hello to all!

Is there any straight and obvious way to count the number of elements
in some array???

maybe I'm blind, but can't find that in the manual, and the only way
out I've found so far is like this.

{foreach from=$some_arr item=$i name="my_foreach"}{/foreach}
Number of elements: {$smarty.foreach.my_foreach.total}

Looks horribly stupid So, any other way?

Best regards
Dmitriy
