    It is possible to create empty arrays but excluding element 1. The document is incorrect in sayng that element 1 is required.

  • count($array)

    The documentation index doesnt mention count() in the arrays chapter
    count() is under miscellaneous .. but it works on arrays

    Example 1

    {array( 1, 2, 5 )|count()}

    The following output will be produced: "3".
