I'm using a multi-record editor for photo albums. Each record has a title, cover image, description, and an upload field for images. My list page displays title, etc. to help visitors choose which album to view. So far...nothing special.

But now, I would like to display the number of images in the upload field.

E.g.

Title: Summer 2010
Descripton: My trip to Alaska.
Num of images: 14

Is there a way to count the images in the upload field for display on the list page?

Okay, this works...

<?php $n = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($record['images'] as $upload): ?>
<?php $n++; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
Images in Album = <?php echo $n; ?>

Anybody have better?

Hi markr,

You can use the PHP count() function for this:

<?php echo count( $record['images'] ); ?>

I hope this helps! :)

All the best,
Chris
