Count results of a multidimensional array - php

Question

I have a newbie question here, but I'm really stucked. I have a multidimensional array that comes from a SELECT from a database, what I need is pretty simple, I'm doing a graphic where contains the number of results of each column of every user specified.
Heres some code to clarify your minds:
try {
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=***; dbname=**;charset=utf8;', '***', '**');
}catch(PDOException $err){
echo "Erro:\n".$err->getMessage();
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM results
WHERE ra like '****'";
$statement = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetchAll();
$resultPgto = array_column($result, 'indicado_pgto');
print_r($resultadoPgto);
This returns me this array:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(18) "Indicacao Invalida"
[1]=>
string(3) "Nao"
[2]=>
string(3) "Nao"
}
I need to count the results that are equal to Sim AND it should returns me 0 but instead when I do something like print_r($resultadoPgto == 'Sim'); it returns '1'...
Other funny fact is, when I try to return results that are equal to Nao (theres 2 there) it returns me 0 or 1...
What I'm missing here? Can someone please help?
EDIT 1 :
Counting the result itself will return the number of keys the array has.
Here is the full Result to your understanding.
array(3) {
[0]=>
array(22) {
["dsadsad"]=>
string(7) "***"
[0]=>
string(7) "****"
["nome_aluno"]=>
string(25) "lore"
[1]=>
string(25) "ipsum"
["nome_indicado"]=>
string(25) "lore"
[2]=>
string(25) "ipsum"

[8]=>
string(3) "Nao"
["validacao_indicacao"]=>
string(3) "Sim"
[9]=>
string(3) "Sim"
["validacao_desconto"]=>
string(3) "N�o"
[10]=>
string(3) "N�o"
}
[2]=>
array(22) {
["asdasdsad"]=>
string(7) "***"
[0]=>
string(7) "***"
["nome_aluno"]=>
string(25) "lore"
[1]=>
string(25) "ipsum"
["nome_indicado"]=>
string(15) "lore"
[2]=>
string(15) "ipsum"
["indicado_inscrito"]=>
string(3) "Sim"
[3]=>
string(3) "Sim"
["indicado_confirmado"]=>
string(3) "N�o"
[4]=>
string(3) "N�o"
["indicado_presente"]=>
string(9) "EM ABERTO"
[5]=>
string(9) "EM ABERTO"
["indicado_aprovado"]=>
string(9) "EM ABERTO"
[6]=>
string(9) "EM ABERTO"
["indicado_matriculado"]=>
string(3) "N�o"
[7]=>
string(3) "N�o"
["indicado_pgto"]=>
string(3) "Nao"
[8]=>
string(3) "Nao"
["validacao_indicacao"]=>
string(3) "Sim"
[9]=>
string(3) "Sim"
["validacao_desconto"]=>
string(3) "N�o"
[10]=>
string(3) "N�o"
}
}
The only field I need information is "indicado_pgto", thats why I did the array_column()
What I really need is compare each value and count them, to return me any position that have the string 'Sim' on it, and even if don't have any 'Sim' string on it, it returns me 1

Answer 1

If you have this array after using array_column() on the SQL results, then the assumption is that your target array looks like this:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(18) "Indicacao Invalida"
[1]=>
string(3) "Nao"
[2]=>
string(3) "Nao"
}
If so, then you should be able to do something simple like this?
<?php
$counter = 0;
foreach ($resultadoPgto as $result) {
if ($result === 'Nao') {
$counter++;
}
}
print_r($counter);
Note that I used the triple equality operator === instead of the double equality operator==.
The weird behaviour you are experiencing with your print_r($resultadoPgto == 'Sim') returning '1' or '0' could be an side effect of using the double equality operator since it does not take the data type in consideration when evaluating the expression.

Answer 2

This will count the occurances of any field in an array that match a specified value.
function count_occ($array, $field, $content) {
$cnt = 0;
foreach( $array as $a) {
if ($a[$field] = $content) { $cnt++; }
}
return $cnt;
}
echo count_occ($result, 'indicado_pgto', 'Sim');
