I have these arrays as reference:

$a_controle = array ('A','B','C','D','E','F');

var_dump($array_final) =>
array (size=5)
  0 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'A' (length=1)
      1 => string 'B' (length=1)
      2 => string 'C' (length=1)
  1 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'A' (length=1)
      1 => string 'B' (length=1)
      2 => string 'D' (length=1)
  2 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'A' (length=1)
      1 => string 'C' (length=1)
      2 => string 'E' (length=1)
  3 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'D' (length=1)
      1 => string 'E' (length=1)
      2 => string 'F' (length=1)
  4 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'A' (length=1)
      1 => string 'B' (length=1)
      2 => string 'P' (length=1)

How can I count how many times each element of $a_controle exited together with another in $array_final ?

For example:

A appeared with B 3 times
A appeared with C 2 times
A appeared with D 1 times
A appeared with E 1 time
A appeared with F 0 times

A verification is passed to the next element of $a_controle (element B):

B appeared with C 1 time
B appeared with D 1 time
B appeared with E 0 times
B appeared with F 0 times

B verification is passed to the next element of $a_controle (element C).

The C check passes to the next element of $a_controle (element D).

The D check passes to the next element of $a_controle (element E).

E verification is passed to the next element of $a_controle (element F).

So successively for an array of unknown size. Is it possible?

You can use foreach to get to the sub array to parse, and then use two for to check each element in your neighbors:

$a_controle = Array('A','B','C','D','E','F');
$array_final = Array(
    Array("A","B","C"),
    Array("A","B","D"),
    Array("A","C","E"),
    Array("D","E","F"),
    Array("A","B","P")
); 

$apareceu_com = Array();

foreach ($array_final as $sub_array_final){
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($sub_array_final); ++$i){
        for ($j = 0; $j < count($sub_array_final); ++$j){
            $elem1 = $sub_array_final[$i];
            $elem2 = $sub_array_final[$j];

            if ($i != $j){ //se não é o proprio elemento
                if (isset($apareceu_com[$elem1][$elem2])){
                    $apareceu_com[$elem1][$elem2]++;
                }
                else {
                    $apareceu_com[$elem1][$elem2] = 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

print_r($apareceu_com);

Output:

Array
(
[A] => Array
    (
        [B] => 3
        [C] => 2
        [D] => 1
        [E] => 1
        [P] => 1
    )

[B] => Array
    (
        [A] => 3
        [C] => 1
        [D] => 1
        [P] => 1
    )
