Array Addition

Anon

Greetings, All -

I'm having a problem doing the following -

How would you take information from an array that outputs dynamic numbers, then calculate (simple addition) them together?

Thank you for any help!!!

Thank you, Grumbler -

I'm sorry, I didn't explain it properly -

I was aware of that array function, and will be using it after I get the numbers from an array loop - Here is what's happening:

I'm dynamically retriving the latest stock prices and other related information from an legally sanctioned outside source. Intailly, I'm calling the symbols from a arrayed MySQL table in a while statment, that MySQL table is constantly being updated by members and holds multiple tickers, so there isn't a fixed number of symbols… an array exists inside the while statement that is looking for 15 fields of stock information based on the symbol provided to the outside source's url (which has it's own fields to tend to on their end, in the url string) in an fopen situation. It then retrives the info from the source and explodes it in my second array to output the info I need - in HTML rows for each field of the symbol.

My question is how do I collect all the numbers of a particular array field into another array that the source comes back with each time so I can calculate them together.

Thank you very much for your time and brain power. It is greatly appreciated!

'fraid my eyes started to cross about a third of the way through -- I'm tired 🙂, so I came back in at the end. Maybe if you could draw a bit of picture of this array? I think easier when I've got pictures to look at 🙂

"Collect all the numbers of a particular array field" sounds like you have a two dimensional array: $array['field'] contains an array of numbers. But that probably isn't what you mean, 'cos then it's just $otheraray=$array['field']
