array_count_values question?

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

ok i'm trying to create a top ten list from a database of listed favorite movies.

the following code yields me the correct order and number of votes for each movie


$compare = array_count_values ($anfo);

arsort($compare);

print_r($compare);



Array ( [] => 518 [pulp fiction] => 8 [fight club] => 8 [harry potter] => 7 [zoolander] => 7 [dirty

dancing] => 6 [ notebook] => 6 [mean girls] => 5 [juno] => 5 [300] => 5 [garden state] => 4 [a walk

to remember] => 4 [v for vendetta] => 4 )

I want to code things so that the above list is formated like a top ten list like so...

top movies
1 pulp fiction - 8 votes
2 fight club - 8 votes
3 harry potter - 8 votes
4 zoolander - 7 votes
5 dirty dancing - 6 votes
6 notebook - 6 votes
7 mean girls - 5 votes
8 300 - 5 votes
9 garden state - 4 votes
10 a walk to remember - 4 votes

what do i need to do to make that happen?

i tried

top 10 list

1. <?=$compare[1]?>

2. <?=$compare[2]?>

3. <?=$compare[3]?>




but that didn't work

update.... i just figured out the that i needed to use

$compare2 = array_keys($compare) ;

so that gives me the movie names, now i just need to figure out how to access the count values. any ideas?
