tbare Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 edited: now, all the numbers are on separate lines: 1 5 8 7 4 and getting the avg like this: <?php $numbers = file('ratings/' . $file . '.dat'); $count = "0"; $sum = "0"; foreach ($numbers as $line) { $count++; $sum = $sum+$line; } $avg = $sum/$count; print "$avg"; ?> i'm sure ther's a better way, but this is how i got it.... any better ways are welcome Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83092-solved-getting-avg-from-text-files/#findComment-422735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
