how to get the count of a value from an array in php based on condition code example

Example 1: php count array elements with specific key

$cnt = count(array_filter($array,function($element) {
  return $element['your_key']=='foo';
}));

Example 2: php count amount of times a value appears in array

$tmp = array_count_values($uid);
$cnt = $tmp[12];
//Or
$cnt = count(array_filter($uid,function($a) {return $a==12;}));
//In both cases $var will be a number
