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);

    }

?>

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



?>

function array_avg(&$array)

{

  //**

    returns the average value of all array-values

    or false if no values in array (or not an array)

  **//



  if (!is_array($array) || count($array)==0) 

    return false;

  else

    return array_sum($array)/count($array);

} // array_avg()



Please add this function to PHP.

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]);

}

?>

Microsoft Excel - SUMIF()



function sumif($array,$criteria,$sum_array){ 

  if(is_array($array) && is_array($sum_array) && trim($criteria)!= ""){ 

    $array_count = (count($array) < count($sum_array)) ? count($array):count($sum_array);

    for($i=0;$i<$array_count;$i++){

      if(ereg("^<",$criteria)){

        $value = ereg_replace("^<","",$criteria);

        $result += $array[$i] < $value ? $sum_array[$i]:0; 

      }

      elseif(ereg("^>",$criteria)){ 

        $value = ereg_replace("^>","",$criteria);

        $result += $array[$i] > $value ? $sum_array[$i]:0;

      }

      else{

        $value = $criteria;

        $result += $array[$i] == $value ? $sum_array[$i]:0;

      }

      

    }

    return $result ? $result:0;

  }

}

Here's a function to return the sum of a portion of an array:



function array_partial_sum($array, $start, $length){

    $new_array = array_slice($array, $start, $length);

    return array_sum($new_array);

}



$array = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

print array_partial_sum($array, 0, 3);  // prints 6

For clarity, array indices containing boolean values such as TRUE and FALSE are added up as though they are 1 and 0 respectively.

Don't use number_format() before array_sum()...it won't work correctly, if you have a summary...

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);


?>

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.

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";

?>
