@TheFuzzyOne: I'm glad you find PHP so useful and never had any problems with types. Also I'm sure someone will find yours and @daveWid casting examples useful. However I DID have code breaking because it was expecting an integer and count_all_results returns a string. And yes, I did solve the problem by casting, but that's not the question.

The question I am asking - does it make sense to have a function called 'count_something' return a string when a count is blatantly an integer?
