"GROUP BY" in arrays

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Well i'm looking to do something i usually could do easily using COUNT and GROUP BY if it was a sql query... But this time i'm working with an array...

so i have an array that looks like this

Code: $array(
"dog",
"cat",
"dog",
"fish",
"horse",
"cat",
);
First i want to group together the duplicate entries. And then, i want to list the number of times the item was found in the array

with the above example, i would be expecting a result like this:
Code: $array(
"dog (2 results)",
"cat (2 results)",
"fish (1 results)",
"horse (1 results)",
);
From what i have read on google i can group together the duplicate entry with array_unique() but i have no idea how i can list the number of times this item was found in the array

thanks for helping me!
