Assuming our array of numeric values (to add) is as such :
  $array = array(4, 9, 33, 5);
As of PHP4.0.4 the function array_sum() exists, it's used as such :
  $sum   = array_sum($array); // 51
Or, one can always loop through the array, as such :
  reset($array);
  while (list(, $value) = each($array)) {
    $sum += $value;
  }
Or use foreach (PHP4+) :
  foreach ($array as $value) {
    $sum += $value;
  }
And in every case in the above, $sum will be equal to the sum of all 
values in the particular array.  If the above code does not make sense,
