If you don't have the stat package you can use these functions:
<?php
// Function to calculate square of value - mean
function sd_square($x, $mean) { return pow($x - $mean,2); }
// Function to calculate standard deviation (uses sd_square)
function sd($array) {
// square root of sum of squares devided by N-1
return sqrt(array_sum(array_map("sd_square", $array, array_fill(0,count($array), (array_sum($array) / count($array)) ) ) ) / (count($array)-1) );
}
?>
