Thread:Extension talk:Arrays/Counting the number of occurences of a value in an array?

I am looking for a solution to count the number of occurrences of a string in an array. PHP has "array_count_values", did anyone make this available already for Arrays in MW?

[Apple, Pear, Apple, Banana] Apple = 2, Banana = 1, Pear = 1.

Thanks,

Best wishes,

Timo
