array_reduce
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5)
array_reduce -- Iteratively reduce the array to a single
value using a callback function
Description
mixed array_reduce ( array input, callback function [, int
initial])
array_reduce() applies iteratively the function function
to the elements of the array input, so as to reduce the
array to a single value. If the optional initial is available,
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
<?php
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.
