array_sum

If $mark is an array of values then

$totalMark = array_sum( $mark );

should do it. See http://www.php.net/array_sum

No, I specifically need the sum of the $value inside the array

"I specifically need the sum of the $value inside the array"

I don't undertand what you mean by this. Do you mean

$sum_value = 0;

foreach($mark as $ExamNo => $value) {
            
            if($value != "") {
                  echo '<li>'.$ExamNo.' = '.$value.'</li>';

                  $sum_value += $value;
                  echo "the sum of $sum_value"
            }

      }

I have mocked up what I am trying to achieve here: http://www.statusconsultinglimited.com/questions.html
This should explain the aim of my question..
<?php
$mark = $_POST["mark"];

      foreach($mark as $ExamNo => $value) {
            
            if($value != "") {
                  echo '<li>'.$ExamNo.' = '.$value.'</li>';
            }

      }
echo"<br/>
You score was";
?>
