How can I sum all values of a specific array key recursively?

by

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
    )
);
