I have the following programs code, but I do not know how to find the correct result. Why has this problem occurred, and how can it be solved? This is the code I am running:

protected function credentials(Request $request)
 {
  $admin=admin::where('email',$request->email)->first();
  if(count($admin))
  {
  if($admin->status==0){
  return ['email'=>'inactive','password'=>'You are not an active person, Please contact to admin'];
  }
  else{
  return ['email'=>$request->email,'password'=>$request->password,'status'=>1];
  }
  }
  return $request->only($this->username(), 'password');
  }

This is the error text I receive:

"count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable"
parameter must be an array

    It is caused by PHP 7.2 NULL count() return Warning. You can change it. 

    count($admin)

    To 

    count((is_countable($admin)?$admin:[]))
