count_all_results returns a string?

I have no intention to being a sarky smartass but I haven't really had any problem with the function returning string. I have always checked for anything functions(I type cast too) return and may have resolved any potential problem with it. I didn't even know count_all_results returned a string (or I don't remember).

My response was to what you said about your code breaking:

However I DID have code breaking because it was expecting an integer and count_all_results returns a string.

Checking data type or type casting has always been my thing.
