I want all of the elements in the array to be added together, but this doesn't seem to be working.
<?php
function mimic_array_sum($array) {
foreach($array as $total) {
$total = $total + $total;
}
return $total;
}
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$total = mimic_array_sum($var);
echo $total;
?>
$total = $total + $total --> well, there's your problem...
The $total variable gets overwritten on each loop through the array.
Assign a separate variable for each number in the array, like so:
function mimic_array_sum($array) {
$total = 0;
foreach($array as $number) {
$total = $total + $number;
}
return $total;
}
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
echo mimic_array_sum($var);
Although the point of this is not clear to me... You might as well use the php-function array_sum...
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
echo array_sum($var);
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$total = array_reduce(
$var,
function($sum, $value) {
return $sum + $value;
}
);
though why not simply use array_sum()?
You can use array_sum — Calculate the sum of values in an array
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$total = array_sum($var);
echo $total;
<?php
function mimic_array_sum($array) {
$total = 0;
foreach($array as $elem) {
$total += is_numeric($elem) ? $elem : 0;
}
return $total;
}
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$total = mimic_array_sum($var);
echo $total;
?>
add numbers in an array with PHPPlease try following, you have to take separate variable to do so. Or else you can use array_sum()
function mimic_array_sum($array) {
$test = 0;
foreach($array as $total) {
$test = intval($test) + intval($total);
}
return $test;
}
$var = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$total = mimic_array_sum($var);
echo $total;
?>
$totalas both a loop variable and an accumulator.
