Hi,
can someone please help with this.
This statement
if( strpos( $stats[1], '/' ) !== false )
$typeCount++;
will increment $typeCount when $stats[1]= 235197">J. Smith#1#0#0#0
or something similar. Rather it should not be incrementing $typeCount as there is no / character in that string.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

Nothing is happening because you entire statement is evaluating as false therefore skipping the increment function.

strpost is returning false because it cannot find the '/'
then you are see if it does not equal false which is returns false because the result from the strpost is in fact false.

So basically when strpos has done its work you the if function looks like this:
I hope you see what I mean you problem is here if( strpos( $stats[1], '/' ) !== false ) it should be: if( strpos( $stats[1], '/' ) === false ) I believe.

Make sure you use === and not ==, because if it's matched in the first character of the string then you won't get the result you're after.
