Question

I have this array:

Array ( 'jan' => 2, 'feb' => 1, 'mar' => 2, 'apr' => 1 )

..and I want to return:

Array ('jan', 'mar')

As in, find the 2 elements with the highest count and put them in an array. What is the simplest way to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can use max() to get the maximum value, and array_keys() to get an array containing the keys that had that value.

$max = array_keys($array, max($array));
