Purpose:
array_count_values function counts the number of value occurrence in array. It takes one parameter that is array. array_count_values(array).
Code:

2. $students=array("Rizwan","Tahreem","Fatima","Malik",
"Rizwan","Tahreem","Malik");
3. print_r(array_count_values($students));
4. ?>
Output:

Explanation:
In the code above on line 2 we have declared and initialize an array. Then on line 3 we have passed it to array_count_values function to count number of occurrence of the value. Then we have passed it to print_r function to show output of the array.
