factor_count

Language/Type: PHP parameters cumulative sum return

Write a function named factor_count that accepts an integer as its parameter and returns a count of its positive factors.

For example, the eight factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, so the call of factor_count(24) should return 8. If passed a negative integer, your function should throw an Exception with the message, "Error: parameter value must be non-negative."

You may assume that the parameter passed is an Integer type.

Function: Write a PHP function as described, not a complete program.
