I am assuming that the HTML is not built/rendered using PHP, so then you can use the PHP built-in DOM parser. 

<?php
//** Load the HTML **//
//$html  = file_get_contents('http://www.url.com'); //Load the HTML from external webpage.
$html  = file_get_contents(__FILE__); //Load the HTML from the current webpage.

//** Load HTML contents into DOM tree **//
$dom   = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);

//** Initialize DOM Parser **//
$finder = new DomXPath($dom);

//** Parse DOM for all occurences of <input> with parent <div> with class ="questionshowp' **//
$inputs = $finder->query("/html/body/div[@class='questionshowp']/input");

//** Determine how many input fields have type='text' **//
$count = 0;
foreach ($inputs as $input) {
  if ($input->getAttribute('type') === 'text') {
   $count++;
  }
}

//** Print Results! **//
echo "Number of <input> fields where @type = 'text' is -> " .$count ."\n";

Keep a flag $count and increment inside the for loop

$count = 0;

for loop {
$count++
}
echo $count;

or

$count = count($listValue);
