How to find the repeating elements in an array?

If I have this array : array(“hey”, “test”, “hey”);

And I want to count how many times I have the word “hey”, how can I do that?

Answer 1

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a function like array_count_values?

Some example code of usage:

$arr = array(...);
$valCounts = array_count_values( $arr );
echo $valCounts['hey'];

I highly recommend browsing php.net and, in-particular, learning the array functions.
