Hi, I have a code in the following, after investigating more closely on how to use array_count_values(): //Calculate the number of elements in array $total_num = count($friend_from); $total_num2 = count(array_unique($friend_from)); for ($i=0;$i<=$total_num2;$i++) echo $friend_from[$i] . " " . array_count_values($friend_from[$i]) . "\n"; Neither of these two numbers, $total_num and $total_num2 are 0, but I only get something like this: Monroe, IN Cherokee, OK Cherokee, OK Cleveland, OK Greer, OK How come that I cannot get it to print out the individual array_count_values? Have I missed something here? Thanks for your help. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390707/direct/01/
