printr($res);
 
function iCountValues($arr, $lower = true)
{
	$arr2 = array();
	if($arr['0'] !~ Array)
		$arr = array($arr);
	foreach($arr as $k => $v)
	@{
		foreach($v as $v2)
		@{
			if($lower == true)
				$v2 = lc($v2);
			if(!IsIndexSet($arr2, $v2))
				$arr2[$v2] = 1;
			else
				$arr2[$v2]++;
