[SOLVED] Sum Values without MySQL?

[l!m!t]

 

Hi I am trying to add a loop of values into a total. (like the mYSQL SUM function). Any idea on how I do this without mySQL? I tried array_sum, but cant get it to work. Any easy examples someone could provide would be great.

 

foreach ($file->get_contents() as $item) {
$qty_total = $item['qty'];
}

$actual_cost_array= array($qty_total);
$result=array_sum($actual_cost_array); // <- Should total, but doesn't..

 

If there is an easier way please advise.

 

Thank you.

[code=php:0]
foreach ($file->get_contents() as $item) {
  $qty_total += $item['qty'];
}
