Changelog

Version Description
8.3.0 Now emits E_WARNING when array values cannot be converted to int or float. Previously arrays and objects where ignored whilst every other value was cast to int. Moreover, objects that define a numeric cast (e.g. GMP) are now cast instead of ignored.

Examples

Example #1 array_sum examples

<?php
$a = array(2, 4, 6, 8);
echo "sum(a) = " . array_sum($a) . "\n";

$b = array("a" => 1.2, "b" => 2.3, "c" => 3.4);
echo "sum(b) = " . array_sum($b) . "\n";
?>

The above example will output:

sum(a) = 20
sum(b) = 6.9
