variable[ 0 ] = 5
variable[ 1 ] = 2
variable[ 2 ] = 4
variable[ 3 ] = 5
variable[ 4 ] = 8
variable[ 5 ] = 5

5 is three times in the variable (the most), how to return that value?

[micapat]

loop -> for ?

[Backstabnoob]

No, really?

[micapat]

Yep.

Is there many values ? What are their range ? More explanations maybe ?

[Backstabnoob]

The first post and the thread title are pretty self explanatory, there is nothing more to explain.

You will need to loop through the array and count the values and then determine which one appeared the most.

Not tested.

PHP Code:

new array[sizeof variable];

for (new i, j; i < sizeof variable; i++)
{
    for (j = 0; j < sizeof variable; j++)
    {
        if (variable[i] == variable[j])
        {
            array[i]++;
        }
    }
}

new max;

for (new i = 1; i < sizeof variable; i++)
{
    if (array[i] > array[max])
    {
        max = i;
    }
}

// The answer is... variable[max]

Thanks, will try.

Thanks, works extremely well. There is one more request I would like to make - can you edit it so I can define which one is returned?

For example, if the cells are like

cell[ 0 ] = 1
cell[ 1 ] = 1
cell[ 2 ] = 2
cell[ 3 ] = 2
cell[ 4 ] = 2
cell[ 5 ] = 3
cell[ 6 ] = 3
cell[ 7 ] = 3
cell[ 8 ] = 3

1 is twice, 2 is three times, 3 is four times. I would like to define which one to get of these:

function( array, ..., .order = 1 ) // this would return 3, because it has most duplicates
function( array, ..., .order = 2 ) // this would return 2, because it's the second one with most duplicates
function( array, ..., .order = 3 ) // this would return 1, because it's the third one with most duplicates

I'm pretty sure this means rewriting of the whole script :/ sorry about that, I'll be very grateful if someone helps me, because I don't have an idea how to do this (and heck, even how the script posted earlier works).
