Question

I am wondering if I could explain this.

I have a multidimensional array , I would like to get the count of particular value appearing in that array

Below I am showing the snippet of array . I am just checking with the profile_type .

So I am trying to display the count of profile_type in the array

EDIT

Sorry I’ve forgot mention something, not something its the main thing , I need the count of profile_type==p

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Driver] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 4
                    [profile_type] => p                    
                    [birthyear] => 1978
                    [is_elite] => 0
                )
        )
        [1] => Array
        (
            [Driver] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 4
                    [profile_type] => d                    
                    [birthyear] => 1972
                    [is_elite] => 1
                )
        )

)

Easy solution with RecursiveArrayIterator, so you don’t have to care about the dimensions:

$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($array));

$counter = 0
foreach ($iterator as $key => $value) {
  if ($key == 'profile_type' && $value == 'p') {
    $counter++;
  }
}
echo $counter;
