The marqusG solution is easier than mine, however my solution works for any array with 4 dimensions (as the array of your example).
MarqusG solution will only work on this specific example (with these values) while my solution will work for any 4-dimension array.
Hope it helps. Regards.

Yes, it's true. Depending on your specific needs, one solution is better than the other: if you know the array structure, the array keys and the exact position of the values you need to sum, my solution is more concise and less expensive in terms of resources since it doesn't require to loop through the whole array.
But if you need a more abstract and flexible routine, then gplana's solution is the one which fits you needs.
Reading the question, I have choosen the quicker solution. :)

$sum = 0;
foreach($e1 in $a) {
foreach($e2 in $e1){
foreach($e3 in $e2){
foreach($e4 in $e3){
$sum += $e4;
}
}
}
}
// here the $sum variable has the sum of the values.
