I have multiple different db strings, one for example is:
"Apples,Apples,Apples,Oranges,Apples,Oranges"
I want to represent each string dynamically as:
"I have Apples and Oranges. There are 6 in total."
Another string might be:
"Apples,Apples,Apples,Apples";
Should say:
"I have Apples. There are 4 in total."
How would I script this in PHP? Ty for help!
<?php
$str = 'Apples,Apples,Apples,Oranges,Apples,Oranges';
$arr = explode(',', $str);
echo 'I have '.implode(' and ', array_unique($arr))
. '. There are '.count($arr).' in total.';
This should be self explanatory but for reference see: explode, implode & array_unique
I made this test:
<?php
$data = "Apples,Apples,Apples,Oranges,Apples,Oranges";
$array = explode(",",$data); //array of elements
$count = count($array); //How many elements
$arr_unique = array_unique($array); //array of unique elements
echo "I have ".implode(" and ", $arr_unique). ". There are ".$count." in total.";
//var_dump($arr_unique); //For test
?>
