note 88153 added to function.array-count-values

@psbauman In PHP (and every other programming language) leading zeros are stripped from numbers. Since 0001097 is the exact same value as 1097. In other words... 0001097 == 1097. If you want to maintain the leading zeros you would need to make the values a string. <?php $id_numbers[] = '0056789'; $id_numbers[] = '0012345'; $id_numbers[] = '0012345'; ?> This will yield the result you're looking for. Also, there is no reason to use array_values in this situation: <?php $ids = array(); $ids[] = 'a'; $ids[] = 'b'; $ids[] = 'c'; // These two arrays will be identical print_r($ids); print_r(array_values($ids)); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.11.209.231 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-count-values.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88153 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88153 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88153 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
