Parameters: This function accepts single parameter $array. This parameter is the array for which we need to calculate the count of values present in it. Return Value: This function returns an associative array with key-value pairs in which keys are the elements of the array passed as parameter and values are the frequency of these elements in an array. Note: If the element is not a string or integer then an E_WARNING is thrown. Examples:

 Array

 [Geeks] => 3
 [for] => 2
