I don’t think there’s any built-in function that would let you sum the values of a multidimensional array. However, here’s a way of doing it using a lambda-style function.
Let’s suppose this is your array:
[items] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[ID] => 11
[barcode] => 234334
[manufacturer] => Dell
[model] => D630
[serial] => 324233
[current_value] => 1100.00
)
[1] => Array
(
[ID] => 22
[barcode] => 323552
[manufacturer] => Dell
[model] => D630
[serial] => 234322
[current_value] => 1500.00
)
)
You could create a function that you could pass values to:
$array_value_sum = create_function('$array,$key', '$total = 0; foreach($array as $row) $total = $total + $row[$key]; return $total;');
And then use it like so:
echo "Total Current Value" . $array_value_sum($obj['items'], 'current_value');
