PHP How to count duplicate values in 2D array? [duplicate]

Question

I have this array:

Array ( [55118] => Array ( [id] => 55118 
                           [usr_name] => Name 1
                           [usr_employment] => Fulltime
                         )
        [55179] => Array ( [id] => 55179
                           [usr_name] => Name 2
                           [usr_employment] => Fulltime
                         )
        [55549] => Array ( [id] => 55549
                           [usr_name] => Name 1
                           [usr_employment] => Fulltime
                         )
      )

Now 'd like to count how many times "Name 1" exist in my array.
My problem is that it's a 2D array.

So i'd like to print:

Name 1, 2 times
Name 2, 1 time

I can't find a correct answer to this question before.

@BjörnC I didn't down-vote but it would be considered a duplicate. Just do a bit more searching first before posting. — Pogrindis

Because most likely the person that downvoted thinks that you didn't provide the solution you have tried as a minimal code, or specific errors — Gerasimos Ragavanis

I don't know why people marks a question as a duplicate when the anwser of the duplicate are not the same as the question...people read a little before flag a question? — Mickaël Leger

You can use array_count_values and array_column.

$counts = array_count_values(array_column($arr, "usr_name"));

This should give you an associative array with key being the name and the value being the count of that name.

@Pogrindis probably because someone didn't like the question. It seems to happen quite often, someone just clicks all the downbuttons there is without reading.
