I want to count the same values at the deepest/last level of a multidimensional array:

Array
(
[svote001] => Array
    (
        [0] => 006
        [1] => 006
        [2] => 007
    )

[svote002] => Array
    (
        [0] => 000
        [1] => 000
        [2] => 000
    )

[svote003] => Array
    (
        [0] => 002
        [1] => 003
        [2] => 001
    )
)

converted to

Array
(
[svote001] => Array
    (
        [006] => 2
        [007] => 1
    )

[svote002] => Array
    (
        [000] => 3
    )

[svote003] => Array
    (
        [001] => 1
        [002] => 1
        [003] => 1
    )
)

The counted values should additionally be sorted from high to low numbers.

Is the array always 2-dimensional? –  Flixer Feb 12 at 21:32
    
Yes, the array is always 2-dimensional and all "inner" arrays have the same amount of values: all 3 values or 4 or 5... –  Felix Bernhard Feb 12 at 21:38

foreach($array as $k => $v) {
    $result[$k] = array_count_values($v);
    arsort($result[$k]);
}
print_r($result);

This should fit your needs:

<?php

$a = array(
    'svote001' => array("006", "006", "007"),
    'svote002' => array("000", "000", "000"),
    'svote003' => array("003", "001", "001"),
);
$resultArray = array();

foreach ($a as $arrayName => $arrayData){
    $resultArray[$arrayName] = array();
    foreach ($arrayData as $value){
        if (empty($resultArray[$arrayName][$value])){
            $resultArray[$arrayName][$value] = 1;
        }else{
            $resultArray[$arrayName][$value]++;
        }
    }
    arsort($resultArray[$arrayName]);
}

var_dump($resultArray);

Edit: AbraCadaver solution is much better, use this one. I will let the answer stay here anyway.
