count entries in array? 1

[ThomasJSmart]

im having a small array problem,

$array = 1,2,2,3,1,2,2,4,1,4,4,4
(where each number is a seperate var)

i know the total, $total = count($array), returns 12

but how do i count how many of each vars there are in the aray?

im trying to get it to echo the contents of the array but i dont wont vars repeating.

final echo would be something like this:

1 (3x)
2 (4x)
3 (1x)
4 (4x)

im kinda stuck tho, any help much apreciated

thanks,
Thomas

use the array_count_values($array) function
