array_reduce

Description

Array_reduce() applies iteratively the callback function to the elements of the array input, so as to reduce the array to a single value. If the optional intial is avaliable, it will be used at the beginning of the process, or as a final result in case the array is empty.

Example 1. Array_reduce() example function rsum($v, $w) { $v += $w; return $v; } function rmul($v, $w) { $v *= $w; return $v; } $a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); $x = array(); $b = array_reduce($a, "rsum"); $c = array_reduce($a, "rmul", 10); $d = array_reduce($x, "rsum", 1);

This will result in $b containing 15, $c containing 1200 (= 1*2*3*4*5*10), and $d containing 1.
