Answers for "count same values in array php"

php count amount of times a value appears in array

$tmp = array_count_values($uid);
$cnt = $tmp[12];
//Or
$cnt = count(array_filter($uid,function($a) {return $a==12;}));
//In both cases $var will be a number

check if any values are the same in an array php

if(count(array_unique($array, SORT_REGULAR)) < count($array)) {
    // $array has duplicates
} else {
    // $array does not have duplicates
}
