[SOLVED] php array help

[2levelsabove]

hello,

 

I have an array that contains the following data.

 

10/31/08*10/31/08*10/31/08*10/31/08*10/31/08*10/31/08*10/30/08/*10/30/08

 

for graphing purposes i need to get information like 10/31/08 = 6  visits

                                                                    10/30/08 = 2 visits

 

what would be the best way ? I am trying to build my own traffic graph

 

 

thanks

Is this data coming from a mysql query as you could obtain the desired result using COUNT and GROUP BY clauses in the query.

<?php
  $array = array('10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/30/08','10/30/08');
  $data = array();
  foreach($array as $item){
    if(is_array($data[$item]))
      $data[$item]++;
    else
      $data[$item] = 1;
  }
  print_r($data);
?>

rhodesa,

 

thanks for your repky. I ran your code and i got :

Array ( [10/31/08] => 1 [10/30/08] => 1 )

 

what I want to get is:

Array ( [10/31/08] => 6 [10/30/08] => 2 )

 

so that I can graph the result

  $data = array();
  foreach($array as $item){
    if(isset($data[$item]))

Have you looked at the function array_count_values()?

<?php
  $array = array('10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/31/08','10/30/08','10/30/08');
  $data = array_count_values($array);
  echo '<pre>' . print_r($data,true) . '</pre>';
?>
