I have this array:

Array
(
    [LEVEL1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 18
            [1] => 12
            [2] => 16
            [3] => 12
            [4] => 12
        )

    [LEVEL2] => Array
        (
            [0] => 16
            [1] => 18
            [2] => 19
            [3] => 19
            [4] => 16
        )

)

I would like to get subtotals sorted by key.

Array
(
    [LEVEL1] => Array
        (
            [12] => 3
            [16] => 1
            [18] => 1
        )

    [LEVEL2] => Array
        (
            [19] => 2
            [16] => 2 (rectification on the sorting)
            [18] => 1
        )

)

I tried many functions I found in php.net, but didn't even manage to sort it.

I can't get passed the first level.

Thanks Sebastian

Use array_map() & array_count_values(). Example:

$your_arr = Array(
    'LEVEL1' => Array(18,12,16,12,12),
    'LEVEL2' => Array(16,18,19,19,16,)
);

$keys = array_keys($your_arr);
$result = array_combine($keys, array_map(function($v, $k){
    $values = array_count_values($v);
    ($k == 'LEVEL1') ?  ksort($values) : krsort($values);
    return $values;
}, $your_arr, $keys));

print '<pre>';
print_r($result);
print '</pre>';

Output:

Array
(
    [LEVEL1] => Array
        (
            [12] => 3
            [16] => 1
            [18] => 1
        )

    [LEVEL2] => Array
        (
            [19] => 2
            [18] => 1
            [16] => 2
        )
)

I always think, that array_map loss array keys... Thanks :) –  vp_arth Dec 13 '14 at 18:15
    
Your array isn't sorted like OP wanted. So sort it and your answer is fine! –  Rizier123 Dec 13 '14 at 18:20
    
Sorry, I made a mistake in my example. it had to be sorted by DESC based on Counts. I rectified it. So I changed the second krsort for arsort, and that works perfectly. Thanks to both. –  Sebastian Dec 14 '14 at 11:48

This should work for you:

<?php

    $array = array (
            "LEVEL1" => array (18, 12, 16, 12, 12),
            "LEVEL2" => array (16, 18, 19, 19, 16)
        );

    $newarray = array();

    foreach($array as $k => $v) {
        $newarray[$k] = array_count_values($array[$k]);
        if($k == "LEVEL1")
            ksort($newarray[$k]);
        elseif($k == "LEVEL2")
            krsort($newarray[$k]);
    }

    print_r($newarray);

?>

Output:

Array
(
    [LEVEL1] => Array
        (
            [12] => 3
            [16] => 1
            [18] => 1
        )

    [LEVEL2] => Array
        (
            [19] => 2
            [18] => 1
            [16] => 2
        )

)
