count() issues

[Venorize]

I have an XML document that id decrypted and shown onto a table. At the bottom of the page, I'm trying to have it count up one

 

foreach($Data as $Types) // loop through book
foreach($Types as $Colors) // loop through book
{

print_r(count($Colors->Color));

}

 

There are 4 colors, blue, green, red, yellow.

Blue is listed 7 times, green is 3, red is 8, and yellow is 4 times.

 

What I expect it to print is:

 

7 3 8 4

 

Instead, it's printing this:

 

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

 

If I was to just do the print function without count, it lists like this:

 

blue red blue red green yellow blue red yellow red red green yellow yellow blue blue green blue yellow blue red red blue red

 

 

My end-goal of this code is to get it to print this:

Blue: 7

Green: 3

Red: 8

Yellow: 4

You would use an array, with the key being the color name, to count each occurrence in the data -

 

<?php
$counts = array(); // initialize before the start of your loops

...

// inside the loop -
if(isset($counts[$Colors->Color])){
$counts[$Colors->Color]++;
} else {
$counts[$Colors->Color] = 1;	
}
