[SOLVED] Calculate top 5 in array

[eon201]

Hi,

 

Im attempting something which I have NO idea how to do...

 

I have an array like so...

                <?php // Now calculate top 5 pages this day
			foreach ($url_total_today as $key2 => $value2){
			echo "$value2<br/>";
			}
			?>

It spits out a ridiculous amount of urls. Probably around 500.

What I would like it to do is to count how many times each url appears and display it plainly like so...

 

142 - url1.php

67 - url2.html

56 - url3.htm

23 - url4.php

5 - url5.php

 

Can anybody help me with this? Ive tried using the 'array_unique' funtion in conjunction with the 'count' function but no joy.

 

???

Thanks In advance. Eon201

You probably want to look at the array_count_values()[/function]

hmm. Ok half way there now. Thanks

 

How would I only display the top five??

[eon201]

Ok I have achieved it with the asort function.

 

Problem is I need to work out how to get it to display only the first five iterations of the loop.

 

Does anyone know how to stop a loop at a certain point??

To stop a loop, you can use break;

If you only want the top five, just do 5 iterations of the loop:

<?php
$test_ary = range(99,1);
for ($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
    echo $test_ary[$i] . "<br>\n";
?>
