array_reduce --
Iteratively reduce the array to a single value using a callback function
Description
mixed array_reduce (array input, mixed callback [, int
initial])
Array_reduce() applies iteratively the
callback function to the elements of the
array input, so as to reduce the array to
a single value. If the optional intial is
avaliable, 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
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.
