Description
mixed 
array_reduce ( array input, callback function [, int initial] )
     array_reduce() applies iteratively the
     function function to the elements of the
     array input, so as to reduce the array to
     a single value. If the optional initial is
     available, it will be used at the beginning of the process, or as
     a final result in case the array is empty.
     If the array is empty and initial is not passed,
     array_reduce() returns NULL.
    
     
| Example 1. array_reduce() example | 
<?phpfunction 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 (= 10*1*2*3*4*5), and
     $d containing 1.
