Summing values from a flat array

I'm trying to sum all the values inside an array, I've tried using count() but to no avail, the array values may also have negatives in them, example:

Array
(
    [name] => 1
    [phone] => 1
    [emailX] => 1
    [car] => 0
    [finance] => 2
    [employed] => 1
    [credit] => -5
)

If you sum all of them together, the result should be 1, I'm just not sure how to go about it.

Solution

  • You can use array_sum():

    $sum = array_sum($myArray);

    The count() function gives you the number of items in the array.
