Question

Let’s say I have these;

$z1 = substr_count_array($aldi1, "keyword");
$z2 = substr_count_array($aldi2, "keyword");
$z3 = substr_count_array($aldi3, "keyword");

substr_count_array counts the number that how many times our keyword is included in that string.
Now I want to echo string that has the highest count number. I want to echo the string which has highest number. How should I do that ?

Answer 1

Why don’t you store the result from the count in an array. If you store each “aldi” in an array you can do this:

$longest = "";
$max = 0;
foreach($aldi as $text)
{
   $count = substr_count_array($text, "keyword");
   if($count > $max)
   {
      $longest = $text;
      $max = $count;
   }
}
echo $longest. " ". $max . " times";
