alwaysdrunk's comment only works if you can trust the client web browser. Using this function doesn't validate that every necessary field exists -- only that every field that was submitted has a value in it. Thus if an attacker wished to force a null value into one of the fields, he could (rather easily) construct a modified form without the field and submit THAT.
Besides, you really ought to be validating each field anyway if you're taking user input.
array_count_values
说明
array array_count_values ( array input )array_count_values() 返回一个数组，该数组用 input 数组中的值作为键名，该值在 input 数组中出现的次数作为值。

if you have too many values in $_POST,$_GET array that needs to be controlled with isset() in oreder to understand the form is filled completely and have no empty text boxes.
you can try this,it saves time.
<?
$n = array_count_values($_POST);
if (!isset($n[''])) {
echo "The form is filled completely";
}
else
{ die("Please fill the form comlpetely"); }
//tested in php 5
?>

I find a very simple solution to count values in multidimentional arrays (example for 2 levels) :
foreach ($array as $a) {
foreach ($a as $b) {
$count_values[$b]++;
}
}

my solution for count on multidimentional arrays.
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
$detail = explode("|", $array[$i]);
echo "$i - $detail[0] - $detail[1]<br><br>";
if($detail[1] == '1') { $wieoft1 = $wieoft1 +=1; }
if($detail[1] == '2') { $wieoft2 = $wieoft2 +=1; }
if($detail[1] == '3') { $wieoft3 = $wieoft3 +=1; }
}
echo ". $wieoft1 : $wieoft2 : $wieoft3";
?>
looks not pretty fine yet works great for me.
make it bigger for your own.

array_count_values returns the number of keys if empty(value). I expected array_count_values to return 0 for empty values.
Array looks like:
Array
(
[459] =>
[543] =>
[8959] =>
[11273] =>
)
array_count_values returns:
Array
(
[] => 4
)
count(array_count_values(array)) does thus not report there are no values (other than empty) in the array.
I therefore check:
$arrFoo=array_count_values($arrBar);
if(isset($arrFoo[""]) $allempty=count($arrBar)==$arrFoo[""];
if(!$allempty)
//process the array
else
//no need to work on the array

I fount a solution for the count of array elements in the sense of array_count_values, but i was not able to use the function array_count_values itself because it does not say me if arrays exists in the given array, so i had to use a foreach loop and a little bit of recursivity ;)
<?php
function array_count_values_multidim($a,$out=false) {
if ($out===false) $out=array();
if (is_array($a)) {
foreach($a as $e)
$out=array_count_values_multidim($e,$out);
}
else {
if (array_key_exists($a,$out))
$out[$a]++;
else
$out[$a]=1;
}
return $out;
}
?>

array_count_values function does not work on multidimentional arrays.
If $score[][] is a bidimentional array, the command
"array_count_values ($score)" return the error message "Warning: Can only count STRING and INTEGER values!".

You might use serialize() to serialize your objects before analyzing their frequency. :)

suggested plan of attack:
<pre>
<?
class MyObject {
function MyObject($t = 'none')
{
$this->$myTag = $t;
}
}
$myArray = array();
for ($i = 1 ; $i < 11 ; $i++)
{
$myobj = new MyObject( str_pad('n', $i, 'x') );
$myArray[ $myobj->$myTag ] = $myobj;
}
print_r( array_count_values(array_keys($myArray)) );
?>
to sum up:
assuming each instance of an object you create has some sort of tag, e.g.,
$this->$myTag=get_class($this)
..you should be set. objects dont have value to compare the way strings and integers do, so, $myTag's value is arbitrary.

This does not works with objects. If you have an array filled with objects, you can not count them.
Example:
<?php
$myArray = array();
for ($i = 0 ; $i < 10 ; $i++)
{
$myObject = new MyObject();
$myArray[$i] = $myObject;
}
echo (array_count_values($myArray));
?>
This gives you:
Warning: Can only count STRING and INTEGER values...
Found no solution for this yet...
