Count the Number of Certain Elements in An Array

Hi, This seems like a pretty simple problem, but I can't seem to be able to figure it out. I have a lot of elements in an array, and some of them are duplicates, but I don't want to delete them because I have other purposes for it. Is it possible for me to find out the number of certain elements in an array? For example, // Create a simple array. $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3,3,4,2); $total = count($array); echo $total; If I run the code, the value of $total would be 9. However, what I really want to do is to get the values of the different instances of each, like: 1 => 1 2 => 2 3 => 3 4=> 2 5=> 1 Is there a simple code that I use to find this out? Thanks for your help. Alice _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390707/direct/01/
