sorting and counting numbers from a text document.

[Jragon]

Hello,

I was wondering how i could count how many times the number 1  appers in the document and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

 

The text will have over 1000000 results set out like this:

2
10
1
4
2
7
5
3
8
10
1
7
7
2
1
9
3
3
7
3
1
5
2
1
4
7
7
9
10
2
5
8
10
9
8
3
2
2
9
6
8
8
8
2
5
1
9
3
5
9
3
4
6
7
5
6
9
2
3
6
2

 

once it has counted the charicters i want it to put it in to a table

 

I have all redey made the table:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>1</th>
<th>2</th>
<th>3</th>
<th>4</th>
<th>5</th>
<th>6</th>
<th>7</th>
<th>8</th>
<th>9</th>
<th>10</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
<td>number of numbers</td>
</tr>
</table> 

 

I have looked at the count_chars function but the manule is ver confuzerling

 

if anyone could explane how i could do this it would be great

 

Thanks

Read your text file with file. Now use array_count_values to count how many times each number is stated

<?php

$numbers = file('numbers.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

$results = array_count_values($numbers);
ksort($results);

$fields = array_keys($results);

?>
<style type="text/css">
th, td { width: 50px; }
</style>
<table border="1">
   <tr>
        <th><?php echo implode('</th><th>', $fields) ?></th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo implode('</td><td>', $results) ?></td>
    </tr>
</table>
