<?php

//array way to find x amount off people using array_count values() php function...

$x=array("john","lucky","john","petter","luke","petter","brian","petter");

$count=array_count_values($x);

$name=array("john","petter");

if($count[$name[0]] ==2 && $count[$name[1]]==3){

echo "{$name[0]} is there {$count[$name[0]]}times! and {$name[1]} is there {$count[$name[1]]} times! <br><br>";

$x=array("john","lucky","john","petter","luke","petter","brian","petter");

$count=array_count_values($x);

$name1="john";
$name2="petter";

if($count[$name1] ==2 && $count[$name2]==3){

echo "{$name1} is there {$count[$name1]}times! and {$name2} is there {$count[$name2]} times! <br><br>";

according to everythink i have read php 6 will allow the [] and the {} to be used to echo statement out is it correct...

 

 

php above version 6 [] not allowed

<?php
echo "{$name1} is there {$count[$name1]}times! and {$name2} is there {$count[$name2]} times! <br><br>";
?>

 

php version 6 both ways allowed

<?php
echo "{$name1} is there {$count[$name1]}times! and {$name2} is there {$count[$name2]} times! <br><br>";

echo "[$name1] is there [$count[$name1]]times! and [$name2] is there [$count[$name2]] times! <br><br>";
?>

This is why i had to learn the function off array_count_values

 

For some terrable reason in_array has not got the abilty to let you

increment the desired search, so if you wanted john twice there no way with in_array

as a solo function...............

 

about time it was added theo.......

 

<?php

$x=array("john","lucky","john","petter","luke","petter","brian","petter");

$name="john";

for($i=2; $i<3; $i++){

if(in_array(".$name[$i].",$x)){

echo" $name[$i] is there";
}
}
?>

Sorry but what the hell are you going on about? in_array is used to see if a value is contained within an array. It wont return how many times that value is in the array. That is why the array_count_value exists.

[redarrow]

I agree but would be nice if you was able to have a third pramater to see sometink x times...

 

example

 

<?php
if(in_array("john",$array,2)}{

// what ever

}
?>

 

surley make life easer........
