    Hey,

    If in php I'm returning a loop of numbers say about 500,

    How could I show the number that appears the most and the number that appears least within the sequence of these numbers?

    Also if there's more than 1 appears the least times then show both.

    Thanks for your help!

    1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9 ,9 ,9

    Lowest Appearing numbers

    My first guess would be to use a counter:

    $numberarray = array("0" -> "0", "1" => "1"); // etc..

    Increase each one when looping:

    numberarray[$loopnumbers][0]++;

    Then just arsort and take it from there.

    Peace,
