Use array_walk_recursive to walk over each element of the array:

$sum = 0;
array_walk_recursive($r1, function($v) use (&$sum) {
    if (is_numeric($v)) $sum += $v;
});
var_dump($sum); # 12

Edit: Use without array_walk_recursive function:

function array_walk_recursive_rewrite(array $data) {
    $sum = 0;
    foreach ($data as $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $sum += array_walk_recursive_rewrite($v);
        } elseif (is_integer($v)) {
            $sum += $v;
        }
    }
    return $sum;
}
var_dump( array_walk_recursive_rewrite($r1) ); # 12

**function($v) use (&$sum)** please can u explain me this step ? – PHP_USER1 Oct 10 '13 at 07:15
is it possible to use the whole code without this **function($v) use (&$sum)** . instead of this can v use anything else coz i have never used this – PHP_USER1 Oct 10 '13 at 07:31
Is there any way to do this without using **array_walk_recursive** – PHP_USER1 Oct 10 '13 at 08:28
There is, make custom function, that does exactly what `array_walk_recursive` does. But why? Reason that you haven't used this before is just ridiculous. – Glavić Oct 10 '13 at 08:31
no no this is not the reason , i want to try without function ......you can see my 1st attempt .......I m trying with for loop .......but thanks for the info about array_walk_recursive – PHP_USER1 Oct 10 '13 at 08:56
I have updated answer; hope custom function `array_walk_recursive_rewrite` is what you are looking for. – Glavić Oct 10 '13 at 08:57

You cannot make this without recursion function for n-levels. For 6-levels code will look like [this](https://eval.in/53719), which is, again, **ridiculous**. **WHY** don't you wanna use functions? – Glavić Oct 10 '13 at 09:09
