This is a "read the documentation" question.

Take a look at array_count_values and arsort.

<?php  
$myarray = array("Human","Angel","God","Angel","Devil","God","God","Human","God","Angel");

$result = array_count_values($myarray);
arsort($result);

foreach($result as $word => $count)
{
    echo $word." was found ".$count." time(s)<br/>";
}
?>

See array_count_values.

From the documentation:

Example #1 array_count_values() example
<?php
  $array = array(1, "hello", 1, "world", "hello");
  print_r(array_count_values($array));
?> 

Array
(
  [1] => 2
  [hello] => 2
  [world] => 1
)

You can use the array-count-values function.
