Question

What i am trying to do is get an array output of list of referrers saved in db for a certain link. i got it so far but am unable to get teh count of same referrers instead of displaying them again and again.
Here is the function i wrote :

<?php 

function get_links_ref($astats) {   
  $sExistedLink= '';    
  $sMyLinkSQL = "SELECT * FROM `log` WHERE `shorturl`='{$astats}' ORDER BY `click_id` DESC";    
  $aLinks = $GLOBALS['oSysDB']->getAll($sMyLinkSQL);    
  foreach ($aLinks as $astats => $aLinkInfo) {  
    $reff = $aLinkInfo['referrer']; 
    $areff = parse_url($reff);  
    if($areff['host'] == 't.co' || $areff['host'] == 'www.twitter.com' || $areff['host'] == 'api.twitter.com'){ 
      $areff['host'] = "Twitter";   
    }   
    if($areff['host'] == 'www.facebook.com' || $areff['host'] == 'm.facebook.com'){ 
      $areff['host'] = "Facebook";  
    }   
    if($areff['host'] == 'bit.ly' || $areff['host'] == 'lilink.it'){    
      $areff['host'] = "Direct";    
    }   
    $sExistedLink .= <<<EOF
      <p>{$areff['host']}</p>       
EOF;

  } 
  return $sExistedLink; 
}   

In return i get a list like this as example :
Facebook
Twitter
Facebook
Facebook
Twitter

Is it possible to edit this code as i can get something like this , count of total of same referrer in brackets
Facebook (3)
Twitter (2)

Using your exact code with small modifications

function get_links_ref($astats) {   
    $sExistedLink= '';  
    $sMyLinkSQL = "SELECT * FROM `log` WHERE `shorturl`='{$astats}' ORDER BY `click_id` DESC";  
    $aLinks = $GLOBALS['oSysDB']->getAll($sMyLinkSQL);  
    foreach ($aLinks as $astats => $aLinkInfo) {    
        $reff = $aLinkInfo['referrer']; 
        $areff = parse_url($reff);  
        if($areff['host'] == 't.co' || $areff['host'] == 'www.twitter.com' || $areff['host'] == 'api.twitter.com'){ 
            $areff['host'] = "Twitter"; 
        }   
        if($areff['host'] == 'www.facebook.com' || $areff['host'] == 'm.facebook.com'){ 
            $areff['host'] = "Facebook";    
        }   
        if($areff['host'] == 'bit.ly' || $areff['host'] == 'lilink.it'){    
            $areff['host'] = "Direct";  
        }   

        if(!isset($array_count[$areff['host']])) $array_count[$areff['host']] = 0;
        $array_count[$areff['host']]++;
    }

    foreach ($array_count as $key => $value) {
        $sExistedLink .= <<<EOF
<p>$key ($value)</p>     
EOF;   
    }
   return $sExistedLink;   
}
