Repeater Returning Type boolean instead of Array

I am trying to count the number of rows in an array, the snip I found online everywhere as an example is:
$numrows = count(get_field(‘repeating_content’));

When I try to use this I get this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, bool given…

When I use echo gettype the output is boolean

I am able to output the content of the repeater without any errors despite this mismatched type.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Seems like the get_field(‘repeating_content’) function is returning a boolean value instead of an array. Maybe you can check if the field exists and if it’s returning the expected value.

$repeating_content = get_field(‘repeating_content’);

// Check if $repeating_content is an array before counting its rows
if (is_array($repeating_content)) {
$numrows = count($repeating_content);
echo “Number of rows: $numrows”;
} else {
echo “Error: Unable to retrieve repeating content.”;
}
