Which is a better way to check if an array has more than one element?

There are several ways to check if an array has more than one element in PHP. Here are a few options:

  1. Using the count function:
<?php

$array = [1, 2, 3];

if (count($array) > 1) {
  echo "The array has more than one element.";
}
  1. Using the sizeof function:
<?php

$array = [1, 2, 3];

if (sizeof($array) > 1) {
  echo "The array has more than one element.";
}
