Based on PHP sum array value based on textual duplicate in another array I have a question if I change topic to PHP average array value based on textual duplicate in another array.

I need to average array value based on textual duplicate in another array from that link.

Example:

$dateclosed = array("28-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "16-09-2024");

$medpo = array(23.83, 17.27, 40.55, 34.11, 24.94);

So the result looks like this:

$dateclosed = array("28-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "16-09-2024");

$medpo = array(23.83, 30.64333333333333, 24.94);

from above

23.83 from 23.83/1

24.94 from 24.94/1

30.64333333333333 from (17.27+40.55+34.11)/3

From the linked example I tried this code:

$new_array_calc = array(); 

foreach($dateclosed as $key => $value) { 
  $new_array_calc[$value] = ($new_array_calc[$value] ?? 0) + $medpo[$key]; 
  $new_array_calc[$value] = $new_array_calc[$value] / count($new_array_calc); 
} 

print_r($new_array_calc); 

It shows:

Array ( [28-09-2024] => 23.83 [30-09-2024] => 29.35125 [16-09-2024] => 8.3133333333333 ) 

I don't know how to find exactly count of each date such as 23.83 (count one) 91.93 (count three) 24.94 (count one) and calculate in one line.

• Well, have you tried anything? You already know what maths is required...what is preventing you from implementing it? (Please bear in mind that "I need" isn't a question and we're not a free write-my-code service. We can help you with your attempt to implement your requirement. If you don't even know where to start, please explain what exactly is blocking you.) – ADyson Commented Nov 20, 2024 at 7:22
• from link eaxmple i tried code $new_array_calc = array(); foreach($dateclosed as $key => $value){ $new_array_calc[$value] = ($new_array_calc[$value] ?? 0) + $medpo[$key]; $new_array_calc[$value] = $new_array_calc[$value] / count($new_array_calc); } print_r($new_array_calc); its show Array ( [28-09-2024] => 23.83 [30-09-2024] => 29.35125 [16-09-2024] => 8.3133333333333 ) i dont know what to find exactly count array such as 23.83(count one) 91.93(count three) 24.94(count one) and calculate in one line sorry for my english skill – jokalalilo Commented Nov 20, 2024 at 8:18

A simple way to do this is to apply the average calculation in a separate loop after you have populated the new array. That way, you've already got the final total value that you need to divide by. Doing it inside the foreach($dateclosed... loop can't really work, because you don't know if you've found the last entry for any given date yet, or not.

The array_count_values() function will also help you here - it's a quick way to tell you how many entries occur for each date in the original $dateClosed array - which you need for the average calculation.

Here's a working example:

$dateclosed = array("28-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "30-09-2024", "16-09-2024");
$medpo = array(23.83, 17.27, 40.55, 34.11, 24.94);

$new_array_calc = array();
$dateCounts = array_count_values($dateclosed);

foreach ($dateclosed as $key => $value)
{
  $new_array_calc[$value] = ($new_array_calc[$value] ?? 0) + $medpo[$key]; 
}

//calculate the averages
foreach ($new_array_calc as $key => &$value)
{
    $value = $value / $dateCounts[$key];
}

print_r($new_array_calc);

This outputs:

Array
(
    [28-09-2024] => 23.83
    [30-09-2024] => 30.643333333333
    [16-09-2024] => 24.94
)

To correctly calculate average values based on textual duplicates, you need to keep track of both sum and count of each date. Here's another way, best for large data sets:

<?php

$dateclosed = array('28-09-2024', '30-09-2024', '30-09-2024', '30-09-2024', '16-09-2024');
$medpo = array(23.83, 17.27, 40.55, 34.11, 24.94);

// Keeps total sum of values for each date.
$sum_array = array();
// Keeps count of occurrences for each date.
$count_array = array();

// Calculate sum and count for each date.
foreach($dateclosed as $key => $value) {
    if (!isset($sum_array[$value])) {
        $sum_array[$value] = 0;
        $count_array[$value] = 0;
    }
    $sum_array[$value] += $medpo[$key];
    $count_array[$value]++;
}

// Calculate average for each date.
$average_array = array();

foreach($sum_array as $key => $value) {
    $average_array[$key] = $value / $count_array[$key];
}

print_r($average_array);

Result:

Array
(
    [28-09-2024] => 23.83
    [30-09-2024] => 30.643333333333
    [16-09-2024] => 24.94
)
