How to run array_filter recursively in a PHP array?

Question

Given the following array $mm

Array
(
    [147] => Array
        (
            [pts_m] => 
            [pts_mreg] => 1
            [pts_cg] => 1
        )    
    [158] => Array
        (
            [pts_m] => 
            [pts_mreg] => 
            [pts_cg] => 0
        )

    [159] => Array
        (
            [pts_m] => 
            [pts_mreg] => 1
            [pts_cg] => 1
        )

)

When I run count(array_filter($mm)) I get 3 as result since it is not recursive.

count(array_filter($mm), COUNT_RECURSIVE) also will not do because I actually need to run the array_filter recursively, and then count its result.

So my question is: how do I recursively run array_filter($mm) in this case? My expected result here would be 4.

Please note that I am not using any callback so I can exclude false, null and empty.

From the PHP array_filter documentation:

//This function filters an array and remove all null values recursively. 

<?php 
  function array_filter_recursive($input) 
  { 
    foreach ($input as &$value) 
    { 
      if (is_array($value)) 
      { 
        $value = array_filter_recursive($value); 
      } 
    } 

    return array_filter($input); 
  } 
?> 

//Or with callback parameter (not tested) : 

<?php 
  function array_filter_recursive($input, $callback = null) 
  { 
    foreach ($input as &$value) 
    { 
      if (is_array($value)) 
      { 
        $value = array_filter_recursive($value, $callback); 
      } 
    } 

    return array_filter($input, $callback); 
  } 
?>
