I have an array like this:
Array
(
[1000] => Array
(
[pv] => 36
)
[1101] => Array
(
[1102] => Array
(
[pv] => 92
)
[pv] => 38
)
[pv] => 64
)
How I can find the sum of all array elements with key 'pv', regardless of the depth at which they appear?
For this example the result will be 36+92+38+64 = 230
Another alternative:
$sum = 0;
$array_obj = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($array));
foreach($array_obj as $key => $value) {
if($key == 'pv')
$sum += $value;
}
echo $sum;
Update: Just thought I'd mention that this method uses the PHP SPL Iterators.
Salathe Edit:
A simple (relatively) way to filter the keys and to sum the values (without writing a custom Iterator) would be to do some filtering with a RegexIterator
, convert the resulting iterator into an array and use the handy array_sum
function on it. This is purely an academic exercise and I certainly wouldn't advocate it as the best way to achieve this... however, it is just one line-of-code. :)
$sum = array_sum(
iterator_to_array(
new RegexIterator(
new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
new RecursiveArrayIterator($array)
),
'/^pv$/D',
RegexIterator::MATCH,
RegexIterator::USE_KEY
),
false
)
);
