Actually how to find average value from this array excluding empty. please help to resolve this problem.

Answer 1

first you need to remove empty values, otherwise average will be not accurate.

so

$a = array_filter($a);
$average = array_sum($a)/count($a);
echo $average;

DEMO

More concise and recommended way

$a = array_filter($a);
if(count($a)) {
    echo $average = array_sum($a)/count($a);
}
