On one of my pages I list items, and for each item I add a bit of PHP so I can quickly total up the items at the end.

Example:

a
b
c
d
e
f
g

"I have 7 items"

The PHP looks like this:

<?php $x++;?>a
<?php $x++;?>b
<?php $x++;?>c
<?php $x++;?>d
<?php $x++;?>e
<?php $x++;?>f
<?php $x++;?>g

<?php echo "<div class='center'>I have <b>$x</b> items.</div> \n"; ?>

It will list it as "10 items" instead of "7 items"

Why would it be adding +3 to the number?

Also, if you have a better way of doing this, please let me know.

Do you set $x to zero before counting?

$x = 0;

I didn't think to do that. It works, thanks!
