Count number of values in array with a given value

Let’s say I’ve an array fruits:

$fruits = array("apple", "apple", "apple", "banana", "banana", "strawberry");

I want to transform this array into an array count:

$count = array("apple" => 3, "banana" => 2, "strawberry" => 1);

What would be the easiest way possible to archieve this?

Hy there,

You can use array_count_values

<?php
     $array = array(1, "hello", 1, "world", "hello");
     print_r(array_count_values($array));
?>

    Array
(
    [1] => 2
    [hello] => 2
    [world] => 1
)
