note 73389 added to function.array-count-values

I couldn't find a function for counting the values with case-insensitive matching, so I wrote a quick and dirty solution myself: <pre><?php function array_icount_values($array) { $ret_array = array(); foreach($array as $value) { foreach($ret_array as $key2 => $value2) { if(strtolower($key2) == strtolower($value)) { $ret_array[$key2]++; continue 2; } } $ret_array[$value] = 1; } return $ret_array; } $ar = array('J. Karjalainen', 'J. Karjalainen', 60, '60', 'J. Karjalainen', 'j. karjalainen', 'Fastway', 'FASTWAY', 'Fastway', 'fastway', 'YUP'); $ar2 = array_count_values($ar); // Normal matching $ar = array_icount_values($ar); // Case-insensitive matching print_r($ar2); print_r($ar); ?></pre> This prints: Array ( [J. Karjalainen] => 3 [60] => 2 [j. karjalainen] => 1 [Fastway] => 2 [FASTWAY] => 1 [fastway] => 1 [YUP] => 1 ) Array ( [J. Karjalainen] => 4 [60] => 2 [Fastway] => 4 [YUP] => 1 ) I don't know how efficient it is, but it seems to work. Needed this function in one of my scripts and thought I would share it. ---- Server IP: 62.237.7.3 Probable Submitter: 84.231.148.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-count-values.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73389 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73389 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73389 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
