Lets assume you stored some data (e.g. ticked checkboxes of a form) in a database using serialize.

When displaying an overview of the data you like to dislpay how many checkboxes has been ticked.

1. try:
{foreach key=key item=item from=$data}
{$item}
{/foreach}
displays:
a:5:{i:0;s:1:"3";i:1;s:2:"21";i:2;s:2:"22";i:3;s:2:"49";i:4;s:3:"101";}

2. try:
{$item|count}
always displays
1

Sloution:
{$item|countserializedarray}
outputs:
5

save this file as modifier.countserializedarray.php in smary plugin directory to make it work
Code:
<?php
/*
* Smarty plugin
* -------------------------------------------------------------
* File:     modifier.countserializedarray.php
* Type:     modifier
* Name:     countserializedarray
* Purpose:  counts number of values in the serialized string
* -------------------------------------------------------------
*/
function smarty_modifier_countserializedarray($string) {

if (empty($string)) {
return '0';

} else {
return count(unserialize($string));
}
}
?>
