Thanks Tony, thats one for the "code snippets" :D

Ok, next problem....

Code:

$missed[0] = array(Fred, Smith, 3)
$missed[1] = array(Bert, Smith, 52)
$missed[2] = array(Gerty, Blogs, 22)
$missed[3] = array(Fred, Blogs, 22)

How do I count the quantity of unique occurances of the last emement this the array, i.e.

Code:

$uniques[$i] = array("missed" => 22, "occurances" => 2)

There are around 35k records that I have to go through, so not enormous, and there can only be a max of 52 unique entries (by design), I'm just getting lost how to itterate through the arrays and count them correctly.. Any ideas ?
