I need to add up similar items in multidimensional array for a scoring system. So basically, I have this:  
[AS]  
myArray[0] = array(“apple”,“bananas”);  
myArray[1] = array(“apple”,“oranges”,“kiwi”);  
myArray[2] = array(“bananas”);  
myArray[3] = array(“apple”,“cantaloop”,“kiwi”);  
[/AS]

and I need to have the outcome of the top 3 from greatest to smallest. In this case, it would be: apple(3), bananas(2), kiwi(2)

Any ideas on how to do this?
