How to for loop to count each "male" in the array-CodePudding

I am trying to figure out how to use loops with count tag on php for the first time. It will be highly appreciated if you could point me in the right direction

$people = [
  ['name' => 'Allan', 'gender' => 'male'],
  ['name' => 'Rhea', 'gender' => 'female'],
  ['name' => 'Jane', 'gender' => 'female'],
];

$counterMale = 0;

//insert loop to count the "male"
//insert loop to count the 'female'

echo "Male count is $counterMale";

You just have to iterate over $people array and then for each array you have to check whether array["gender"] is male or female and increase the respective counter. Here is the code snippet:

$people = [
  ['name' => 'Allan', 'gender' => 'male'],
  ['name' => 'Rhea', 'gender' => 'female'],
  ['name' => 'Jane', 'gender' => 'female'],
];

$counterMale = 0;
$counterFemale = 0;

foreach($people as $p)
{
    if($p['gender'] == "male")
    {
          $counterMale;
    }
    else if($p['gender'] == "female")
    {
          $counterFemale;
    }
}

echo "Male count is ". $counterMale.PHP_EOL;
echo "Female count is ". $counterFemale;

$people = [
  ['name' => 'Allan', 'gender' => 'male'],
  ['name' => 'Rhea', 'gender' => 'female'],
  ['name' => 'Jane', 'gender' => 'female'],
];

echo array_count_values(array_column($people, 'gender'))['male'];
// male count with case sensitive 
// without single value throw error
