php – Is there anyway to fix the first output of count()?-ThrowExceptions

Exception or error:

I have a movie website and I want to count the links of each box but the first the count(); output is 0 and after that it will continue the real numbers and it’s terrible this is my code:

<div class="links" style="display: none;">
                <?php 
                    $c = 1;
                    $post_something = $link['links'];

                    //This will count the number of links
                $number = count($post_something);


                foreach($post_something as $links){

                //This is the output of the count ?>
                  <p><?php  echo $number  ?></p>

                  <a class="download-button" href="<?php echo $links['link_of_field'] ?>">
                      <?php
                        if(!empty($links['name_field'])){
                            echo $links['name_field'];
                            $c++;
                        } else {?>
                            قسمت <?php echo $c;
                            $c++;
                            ?>
                        <?php }
                      ?>
                  </a>  
                <? }
                ?>
                </div>
                </div>
            <?php }?>

The problem is at the first it has the output of 0!

Here is the resault of var_dump

How to solve:

Well, technically, in computer language, all counts start from [0] and not [1]. So there is nothing wrong with your code. It is working fine if it starts from 0.

This line $number = count($post_something); in your code should return the actual number of results returned.

Let me try to explain with an example;

In a code like this;

<?php
    $cars=array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
    $totalCount = count($cars);
    print_r($cars); // this will print Array ( [0] => Volvo [1] => BMW [2] => Toyota )
    echo $totalCount; // this will return 3
?>

so in the example above, the array prints from 0 but the count produces the number of items in the array which is 3.

I hope this clarifies things for you. If not am willing to explain further or sort this out with you.
