How do I output the words with four or more letters in them from the array and state how many times they occur?
$selection = array("house", "are", "better", "love", "dog",
"love", "don't", "me", "like", "apples", "frank", "better", "you",
"like", "house", "better", "love", "cream");
$array2 = array();
foreach ($selection as $word) {
if (strlen($word) >= 4) {
$array2[] = $word;
print_r(array_count_values($word));
}
}
return $array2;
foreach ($array2 as $key => $value) {
printf("The word '$key' appears $value times<br>
");
}
There are several problems in your code. You should use the word as the array key, and maintain a running count.
Also, you are calling return, which effectively stops the script.
Finally, use more descriptive variable names to help keep track of what you're doing.
<?php
$selection = array("house", "are", "better", "love", "dog",
"love", "don't", "me", "like", "apples", "frank", "better", "you",
"like", "house", "better", "love", "cream");
$results = array();
foreach ($selection as $word) {
if (strlen($word) >= 4) {
if (array_key_exists($word, $results) == false)
$results[$word] = 0;
$results[$word]++;
}
}
foreach ($results as $word=>$count) {
print "The word '$word' appears $count times<br>
";
}
?>
