the functon array_count_values was actually what i was looking for, but in
the test below the key values are not retained ... im still trying to figure
it out ...

$a = array("Cisco","Cisco","Intel","Apple", "Apple", "Apple", "Speedstream",
"Apple");
$b = array_count_values ($a);
 print_r($b);
 rsort($b);
 print_r($b);
