I would like to count the occurrence of each duplicate item in an array and end up with an array of only unique/non duplicate items with their respective occurrences.

array_count_values, enjoy :-)

$array = array(12,43,66,21,56,43,43,78,78,100,43,43,43,21);
$vals = array_count_values($array);
echo 'No. of NON Duplicate Items: '.count($vals).'

';
print_r($vals);

Result:

No. of NON Duplicate Items: 7
Array
(
    [12] => 1
    [43] => 6
    [66] => 1
    [21] => 2
    [56] => 1
    [78] => 2
    [100] => 1
)
