To count a value in a two dimensional array, here is the useful snippet to process and get count of a particular value-

    <?php
    
    $list = [
      ['id' => 1, 'userId' => 5],
      ['id' => 2, 'userId' => 5],
      ['id' => 3, 'userId' => 6],
    ];

    $userId = 5;
    
    echo array_count_values(array_column($list, 'userId'))[$userId]; // outputs: 2
