array_sum

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)

array_sumCalculate the sum of values in an array

Description

number array_sum ( array $array )

array_sum() returns the sum of values in an array.

Parameters

array

The input array.

Return Values

Returns the sum of values as an integer or float.

Changelog

Version Description
4.2.1 PHP versions prior to 4.2.1 modified the passed array itself and converted strings to numbers (which most of the time converted them to zero, depending on their value).

Examples

Example #1 array_sum() examples

<?php
$a 
= array(2468);
echo 
"sum(a) = " array_sum($a) . "\n";

$b = array("a" => 1.2"b" => 2.3"c" => 3.4);
echo 
"sum(b) = " array_sum($b) . "\n";
?>

The above example will output:

sum(a) = 20
sum(b) = 6.9

<?php
function avrg()
{
 
$count = func_num_args();
 
$args = func_get_args();
 return (
array_sum($args) / $count);
}
?>

This function calculates average of numbers given as arguments. Examples:
avrg(100, 200, 300) - returns 200.
avrg(5, 6) - returns 5.5.
avrg('foo') - returns 0.

To elaborate on djyb2003 at yahoo dot fr. His function can be converted to recursive, but i've made a smaller function to do so:

<?php

 
function array_sum_all($array) {
  
$func = create_function("&\$arr=0,\$key=0","static \$a=0; if(is_int(\$arr)) { \$a+=\$arr; } return \$a;");
  
array_walk_recursive($array,$func);
   return
$func();
 }

$tab = array(
                
0 => array ("val1" => 2,"val2" => 5),
                
1 => array ("val1" => 6,"val2" => 10),
                
"toto" => array ("val1" => 15,"val2" => 50)
                );
var_dump(array_sum_all($tab)); //This will output: int(88);
?>

hope this helps someone

This is a simple approach to subtract array, both indexed and associative.

  function array_sub($arr) {
    if (!is_array($arr) || count($arr) == 0) {
      return false;
    } else {
      // get first element
      $base = array_shift($arr);

      if (count($arr) == 1) {
        // If only one element, return its
        return $base;
      }

      foreach ($arr as $val) {
        $base -= $val;
      }

      return $base;
    }
  }

// example
$arr1 = array(3, 2, 3);
echo array_sub($arr1);   // Output: -2
$arr2 = array(3.5, 2, 3);
echo array_sub($arr2);   // Output: -1.5
$arr3 = array('a' => 3, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3);
echo array_sub($arr3);   // Output: -2

I'm not sure if something similar already exists, but I needed it so I made it:
<?php
 
/* Performs a pitagoric sum of the elements in $arr
   The pitagoric sum of a set of values is the square root of
   the sum of the sqare power of each value. So, for a, b, c
   it's sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) */
  /* If any element of $arr is an array itself, the array_sum
   will be used. Alternatively, the values could be used by
   recursion. Returns the integer part (floor) */
 
function array_pitag_sum($arr) {
    if(
is_array($arr) {
     
$ret = 0;
      foreach(
$arr as $i) {
        if(
is_array($i)) {
         
$s = array_sum($i);
         
$ret += $s*$s;
        } else {
         
$ret += $i*$i;
        }
      }
      return
floor(sqrt($ret));
    } else {
      return
$arr;
    }
  }
?>

In reference to KageKonjou's array_mode function...

If you only want to know the value in the array that occurs most (and not the number of times it actually occured), you can use this short function.  It also suffers from the same problem in that if there is more than one mode, it will return only one.
<?php
   
function array_mode($array)
    {
        if(!
is_array($array)) return false;
       
asort(array_count_values($array));
        return
array_pop($array);
    }
?>

Average array values, ignoring zero values:

<?php
function array_average_nonzero($arr) {
   return
array_sum($arr) / count(array_filter($arr));
}
?>

<?php
$arr
= array(1,2,3,0,0);
echo
array_average_nonzero($arr); // returns 2
echo array_sum($arr) / count($arr); // returns 1.2

If you want to sum all values (horizontal or vertical) use this function:

<?php

function sumArray($array, $params = array('direction' => 'x', 'key' => 'xxx'), $exclusions = array()) {

    if(!empty(
$array)) {
   
       
$sum = 0;
   
        if(
$params['direction'] == 'x') {
       
           
$keys = array_keys($array);
           
            for(
$x = 0; $x < count($keys); $x++) {
           
                if(!
in_array($keys[$x], $exclusions))
                   
$sum += $array[$keys[$x]];
           
            }
           
            return
$sum;
       
        } elseif(
$params['direction'] == 'y') {
       
           
$keys = array_keys($array);
       
            if(
array_key_exists($params['key'], $array[$keys[0]])) {
           
                for(
$x = 0; $x < count($keys); $x++) {
               
                    if(!
in_array($keys[$x], $exclusions))
                       
$sum += $array[$keys[$x]][$params['key']];
                   
                }
                   
                return
$sum;
           
            } else return
false;
       
        } else return
false;
   
    } else return
false;

}

?>

Some examples now:

<?php

$array1
= array('myKey1' => 2, 'myKey2' => 5, 'myKey3' => 8);
$array2 = array(array('myKey1' => 2, 'myKey2' => 5, 'myKey3' => 8), array('myKey1' => 2, 'myKey2' => 5, 'myKey3' => 8));

/*Sum an array*/
print_r(sumArray($array1)); //outputs: 15

/*Sum an array without adding "myKey2" key*/
print_r(sumArray($array1, array('direction' => 'x'), array('myKey2'))); //outputs: 10

/*Sum a multi-dimensional array horizontally without adding "myKey3" key*/
print_r(sumArray($array2[0], array('direction' => 'x'), array('myKey3'))); //outputs: 7

/*Sum a multi-dimensional array vertically (by "myKey1" key) without adding [0] row*/
print_r(sumArray($array2, array('direction' => 'y', 'key' => 'myKey1'), array('0'))); //outputs: 2

If the array is a result from mysql_fetch_array, it contains every value twice and the sum will be double.

Use this to get the sum of comma separated values:

<?php
  $csv
= "1,2,3,4";
  echo
array_sum(explode(",", $csv));
?>

@igz: You can use mysql_fetch_assoc() to avoid duplicate entries.

There was a case where I had a complex array, multi-dimesional and non-symmetric (not all elements of a sub-array were arrays themselves)
Although all the leaf elements of this array were numbers. In case you have two variables like that and you wanted to add all the values of the right variable to the left then you would need a function like below.

This is a recursive function which adds the values of two multidimensional arrays with the same key structure:

<?php
function multiDimArrayAdd(& $left, $right)    //created by George Pligor
{
    if(
is_array($left) && is_array($right))
    {
        foreach(
$left as $key => $val)
        {
            if(
is_array($val) )
            {
               
multiDimArrayAdd($left[$key], $right[$key]);
            }
           
$left[$key] += $right[$key];
        }
    }
}
?>

Here is how you can multiply two arrays in the form of matrixes using a bit of matrix algebra (M*M).
By calling the function multiplyMatrix, you will be multiplying two sparse matrixes (zeros need not be included in the array for the operation to be performed).

<?php
$M
= array(
0=>array(1=>1,4=>1),
1=>array(2=>1,3=>1),
3=>array(1=>1),
4=>array(5=>1),
5=>array(6=>1)
);

$M1 = multiplyMatrix($M, $M); //multiplying $M by itself

echo '<pre>';print_r($M1);echo '</pre>';

function
multiplyMatrix($M1, $M2)
    {
#Helena F Deus, Oct 06, 2008
##Multiply two matrixes; $M1 and $M2 can be sparse matrixes, the indexes on both should match
       
if(is_file($M1)) {$matrix1 = unserialize(file_get_contents($M1));}
        else
$matrix1 = $M1;
       
           
       
#transpose M2
       
$M2t = transpose($M2);
       
        foreach (
$M2t as $row=>$tmp) {
           
##sum the result of the value in the col multiplied by the value in the vector on the corresponding row
               
               
foreach ($M1 as $row1=>$tmp1) {
                   
                   
$multiply[$row1] = array_rproduct($tmp,$tmp1);
                   
                    if(!
$multiply[$row1]){
                          exit;
                        }
                }
               
                foreach (
$multiply as $row1=>$vals) {
                   
                   
$sum[$row][$row1]=array_sum($vals);
                }
               
        }
   
   
$r=transpose($sum);
   
    return (
$r);
    }

function
transpose($M)
{
foreach (
$M as $row=>$cols) {
           
            foreach (
$cols as $col=>$value) {
                 if(
$value)
                
$Mt[$col][$row]=$value;
            }
        }
       
ksort($Mt);
       
return (
$Mt);           
}

function
array_rproduct($a1, $a2)
{
   
   
    foreach (
$a1 as $line=>$cols) {
       
$a3[$line] = $a1[$line]*$a2[$line];
        foreach (
$a2 as $line2=>$cols2) {
           
$a3[$line2] = $a1[$line2]*$a2[$line2];
        }
    }   
   
ksort($a3);
   
   
    return (
$a3);
   
   
}

With this function you can choose whether you sum specific keys in a multidim array, or a normalized array. it is designed to not trigger errors if a key is not set.

A much simpler algorithm for array_sub():

<?php
 
function array_sub($arr) {
    if (!
is_array($arr) || count($arr) == 0) {
      return
false;
    } else {
     
// get first element
     
$base = array_shift($arr);

      return
$base - array_sum($arr);
    }
  }
?>

This will return the exact same results that didikdwi's version.

However, didikdwi's result depends on knowing what the first value is. When this likely bug is removed, the code is:

<?php
 
function array_sub($arr){
   
$temp = array_sum($arr);
    return (
$temp !== false ? -$temp : false );
  }
?>

A simple example for numeric values :

<?PHP

function array_average($arr){
$sum = array_sum($arr);
$num = sizeof($arr);
echo
$sum/$num;
}

$myarray = array(1,2,3,4);
array_average($myarray); // displays 2.5 as average of 1,2,3,4

?>

If some array elements arent integers, function will change them to integers (content of array will not change) type and then sum them.

Example:
<?php
$foo
[] = "12";
$foo[] = 10;
$foo[] = "bar";
$foo[] = "summer";
echo
array_sum ($foo); //same as echo "22";
?>

here is a function that can sum values like these :

$tab = array(
                 0 => array ("val1" => 2,"val2" => 5)
                 1 => array ("val1" => 6,"val2" => 10)
                 "toto" => array ("val1" => 15,"val2" => 50)
                );

sum_subarrays_by_key( $tab, "val1" );

the function will sum all values with "val1" key in tab subarrays.

function sum_subarrays_by_key( $tab, $key ) {
       
        $sum = 0;
       
        foreach($tab as $sub_array) {
            $sum += $sub_array[$key];
        }
       
        return $sum;
       
    }

it can be transformed to be recursive and do also all depths possible in an array.

Hope it can be usefull!

I ran into a situation where I only wanted to sum elements of an array for certain keys. For that, I wrote this function

<?

function array_sum_by_key()
{
    $args = func_get_args();
   
    $arr = array_shift($args);
           
    $to_sum = is_array($args[0]) ? $args[0] : $args;
   
    $sum = 0;

    foreach ( $arr as $k=>$v ) {
        if ( in_array($k, $to_sum) ) {
            $sum += $v;
        }
    }
   
    return $sum;
}

$arr = array (
    'dog' => 1,
    'cat' => 2,
    'rat' => 4,
    'mat' => 8,
    'bat' => 16
);

echo array_sum_by_key($arr, 'dog', 'mat');

// Result: 9

?>

Alternatively, you can pass the keys to sum as an array

<?

$to_sum = array('dog', 'bat');

echo array_sum_by_key($arr, $to_sum);

// Result: 17

?>

Not sure where else to put this, but I added something that determines the most commonly occuring item in an array.  Known Bugs: It will always return the first value if no mode are found, and the first mode found if more are found of same or lesser count.

<?php
function array_mode($array) {
 
$count = array();
 foreach (
$array as $item) {
 
$count[$item]++;
 }
 
$mostcommon = "";
 
$iter = 0;
 foreach (
$count as $k => $v) {
  if (
$v > $iter) {
  
$mostcommon = $k;
  
$iter = $v;
  }
 }
 return array(
"mode" => $mostcommon, "count" => $count[$mostcommon]);

If you want to find the AVERAGE of the values in your array, use the sum and count functions together.  For example, let's say your array is $foo and you want the average...

<?php
$average_of_foo
= array_sum($foo) / count($foo);
?>

As mysql_fetch_array returns associative and numeric indexes, you can simply use a flag.

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM mytable");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);
array_sum($row);
?>

Hope it helps.

Hi people, if someone is searching a function that works also with multimension array, i suggest this :

<?php
function cw_array_count($a) {
  if(!
is_array($a)) return $a;
  foreach(
$a as $key=>$value)
    
$totale += cw_array_count($value);
  return
$totale;
}

$a[0][E][PS][P][a1]=1;
$a[0][E][PS][P][a2]=2;
$a[0][E][PJ][P][a2]=2;
$a[1][E][PS][E][a3]=3;

echo
cw_array_count($a[0]);
// or
echo cw_array_count($a[0][E]);
?>

Bye, Bye.
