Group same date and count together - php

Question

I have done a code to call an array of a value based on each date. My code is below:
$matchs = DiraChatLog::where('status','=','Match')->whereBetween('date_access', [$request->from, $request->to])->get();
$array[] = [];
foreach ($matchs as $key => $match) {
$array[$match->date_access] = $match->status;
}
dd($array);
Using this I try and dd(); I get output like this:
What I'm trying to do now is to first group the same dates together and also I want to then count the total for that dates. how can I do this?

Answer 1

Not sure what you mean with "date". But if you mean the same day it would be this:
$matchs = DiraChatLog::where('status','=','Match')->whereBetween('date_access', [$request->from, $request->to])->get();
$array[] = [];
foreach ($matchs as $key => $match) {
$day = substr($match->date_access, 0, 10);
if(isset($array[$day])){
$array[$day]++;
}else{
$array[$day] = 1;
}
}
dd($array);

Answer 2

$array= array();
$arrayCount=array();
foreach ($matchs as $key => $match) {
$time = strtotime($match->date_access);
$newformat = date('Y-m-d',$time);
if(!array_key_exists($newformat , $array)){
$i=1;
$array[$newformat]=$match->status;
}
//$array[$newformat]=$i; remove this comment if you want the count inside
$arrayCount[$newformat]=$i;
$i++;
}
in the event you want to maintain the "match" value in your array if not just un-comment the code and remover $arrayCount occurrences
