PHP - Count items in object

Question

I'm using Kirby CMS and I need to find out how many posts I have.

My posts are gotten with

$posts = $pages->find('posts')->children();

which echos an object with 10 items (links to the posts).

It is not an array so using count() returns 1.

How can I count the items in this object like I would with an array?

is it like a string? is there a delimiter between each posts? — artsylar

@marabutt var_dump shows a whole massive bunch of stuff, which I guess is all the data about all the posts. — suryanaga

I have no experience with this library. But try this, it might work:

$count = $pages->find('posts')->children()->count();
