[SOLVED] Average of numbers in a txt file

[thebestone]

Hello,

 

How would I go about adding the numbers in a txt file and then dividing by however many numbers there are?

 

Thanks for the info.

Each number is in a different line? Comma separated?

It would be easier to help you if you provide all the info, and maybe a part of the txt file too.

 

Orio.

Right now they're all on a separate line but I can change it if another way would be easier.

Anyone have an idea?

<?php

$lines = file("file.txt");
$total = 0;

foreach($lines as $line) {
$total += $line;
}

$average = $total / count($lines);

?>

 

Try that.

[per1os]

$contents = file('text.txt');

$total = 0;
foreach ($contents as $num) {
    $total += $num;
}
$average = ($total / count($contents));

echo $average . " average  " . $total . " total";

dont bother mucking around with loops much faster this way

<?php
$file=file("file.txt");
$average=array_sum($file)/count($file);
?>
