Question

Sometimes we need to get only the count of repeating elements from an array, or the count of each elements in an array

    $array = array(123, 'abc', 26, 'swat', 1, 'swat', 83);

I would like to print:

    123 (1)
    abc (1)
    26 (1)
    swat (2)
    1 (1)
    83 (1)

Answer 1

use php function array_count_values

<?php
    $array = array(123, 'abc', 26, 'swat', 1, 'swat', 83);
    print_r(array_count_values($array));
?>

The output is:

Array
(
    [123] => 1
    [abc] => 1
    [26] => 1
    [swat] => 2
    [1] => 1
    [83] => 1
)
