Couting occurrences of each value in an array

Question

I\'m trying to sort and splice an array, however I\'m finding it very confusing.

I have pulled my data from a mysql table:

$total = mysql_query(\"SEL         


        

Answer 1

while($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($total))
{
 $cst[] = $result['customer'];
 $partnumber[] = $result['partnumber'];
 $misc[] = $result['misc'];

 if(array_key_exists($result['misc'], $misc_num)) {
   $misc_num[$result['misc']] += 1;
 } else {
   $misc_num[$result['misc']] = 1;
 }
}

I think that should do it!
