php - array_reduce

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. If the array is empty and initial is not passed, array_reduce() returns NULL.

<?php
function rsum($v, $w)

function rmul($v, $w)

}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);$x = array();
$b = array_reduce($a, "rsum");
$c = array_reduce($a, "rmul", 10);
$d = array_reduce($x, "rsum", 1);
