Description:
------------
Hi this is returning 1 when I think it should return 3 for the number of 
properties in the object. Maybe I am doing this wrong. Thanks...





Reproduce code:
---------------
$i = new StdClass();
$i->propOne = "Prop 1";
$i->propTwo = "Prop 2";
$i->propThree = "Prop 3";

print count($i);

Expected result:
----------------
prints 3

Actual result:
--------------
prints 1

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Says the documentation:

"If var is not an array or an object with implemented Countable interface, 1 will be returned [...]"
