Count item into a multidimensional array in PHP

Question

How can I count in a multidimensional array the number of element with a special condition ?

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [item] => 'Banana'
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [item] => 'Banana'

        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [item] => 'Cherry'
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [item] => 'Apple'

        )
)

For example, for this array I should find 2 for Banana.

Si I tried:

$array = array_count_values(array_column($arr,'item'))
echo $array['Banana'];

But it's not working.

Thanks.

chk error reporting, its working fine, getting Array ( [Banana] => 2 [Cherry] => 1 [Apple] => 1 ), i hope this is typo $array = array_count_values(array_column($arr,'item')) missing semi colon — devpro

Another option could be filtering your array with array_filter according to the requirements, if you're just searching for one keyword.

$key = 'Banana'; 
$bananas = array_filter ($arr, function($value) use($key){
    return $value['item'] == $key;
});

$cnt_bananes = count($bananas);
