How can we know the count/number of elements of an array?

2 ways:
a) sizeof($array) - This function is an alias of count()
b) count($urarray) - This function returns the number of
elements in an array. Interestingly if you just pass a
simple var instead of an array, count() will return 1.

explain in brief type juggling in php?

Answer
PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition
in variable declaration; a variable's type is determined by
the context in which that variable is used. That is to say,
if you assign a string value to variable $var, $var becomes
a string. If you then assign an integer value to $var, it
becomes an integer.

An example of PHP's automatic type conversion is the

addition operator '+'. If any of the operands is a float,
then all operands are evaluated as floats, and the result
will be a float. Otherwise, the operands will be interpreted
as integers, and the result will also be an integer. Note
that this does NOT change the types of the operands
themselves; the only change is in how the operands are
evaluated.
$foo += 2; // $foo is now an integer (2)
$foo = $foo + 1.3; // $foo is now a float (3.3)
$foo = 5 + "10 Little Piggies"; // $foo is integer (15)
$foo = 5 + "10 Small Pigs"; // $foo is integer (15)

If the last two examples above seem odd, see String

conversion to numbers.
If you wish to change the type of a variable, see settype().
If you would like to test any of the examples in this
section, you can use the var_dump() function.
Note: The behavior of an automatic conversion to array is
currently undefined.

Since PHP (for historical reasons) supports indexing into

strings via offsets using the same syntax as array indexing,
the example above leads to a problem: should $a become an
array with its first element being "f", or should "f" become
the first character of the string $a? The current versions
of PHP interpret the second assignment as a string offset
identification, so $a becomes "f", the result of this
automatic conversion however should be considered undefined.
PHP 4 introduced the new curly bracket syntax to access
characters in string, use this syntax instead of the one
presented above
