PHP: Count the appearance of particular value in array - php

Question

I am wondering if I could explain this.
I have a multidimensional array , I would like to get the count of particular value appearing in that array
Below I am showing the snippet of array . I am just checking with the profile_type .
So I am trying to display the count of profile_type in the array
EDIT
Sorry I've forgot mention something, not something its the main thing , I need the count of profile_type==p
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Driver] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[profile_type] => p
[birthyear] => 1978
[is_elite] => 0
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Driver] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[profile_type] => d
[birthyear] => 1972
[is_elite] => 1
)
)
)

Answer 1

Easy solution with RecursiveArrayIterator, so you don't have to care about the dimensions:
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($array));
$counter = 0
foreach ($iterator as $key => $value) {
if ($key == 'profile_type' && $value == 'p') {
$counter++;
}
}
echo $counter;

Answer 2

Something like this might work...
$counts = array();
foreach ($array as $key=>$val) {
foreach ($innerArray as $driver=>$arr) {
$counts[] = $arr['profile_type'];
}
}
$solution = array_count_values($counts);

Answer 3

I'd do something like:
$profile = array();
foreach($array as $elem) {
if (isset($elem['Driver']['profile_type'])) {
$profile[$elem['Driver']['profile_type']]++;
} else {
$profile[$elem['Driver']['profile_type']] = 1;
}
}
print_r($profile);

Answer 4

You may also use array_walk($array,"test") and define a function "test" that checks each item of the array for 'type' and calls recursively array_walk($arrayElement,"test") for items of type 'array' , else checks for the condition. If condition satisfies, increment a count.

Hi You can get count of profuke_type==p from a multi dimensiona array
$arr = array();
$arr[0]['Driver']['id'] = 4;
$arr[0]['Driver']['profile_type'] = 'p';
$arr[0]['Driver']['birthyear'] = 1978;
$arr[0]['Driver']['is_elite'] = 0;
$arr[1]['Driver']['id'] = 4;
$arr[1]['Driver']['profile_type'] = 'd';
$arr[1]['Driver']['birthyear'] = 1972;
$arr[1]['Driver']['is_elite'] = 1;
$arr[2]['profile_type'] = 'p';
$result = 0;
get_count($arr, 'profile_type', 'd' , $result);
echo $result;
function get_count($array, $key, $value , &$result){
if(!is_array($array)){
return;
}
if($array[$key] == $value){
$result++;
}
foreach($array AS $arr){
get_count($arr, $key, $value , $result);
}
}
try this..
thanks
