Issue with mean function

Hi,
I am wanting to make each element in an array (excluding the first and last rows & columns, i.e. the elements on the edge) the average of that element and the 8 surrounding elements using the mean() function. The mean function is currently returning a 1x125 matrix where each element is the average of the elements in each corresponding column in the original 125x125 matrix. Is there a way I can make the mean function return a 125x125 matrix (the same size as the original matrix to be averaged)? It's for a uni assessment and we're supposed to use the mean function.
Cheers, Bruce

You will need to do exactly what you are describing: taking for each element the mean of the surrounding elements. What you did was to compute the mean of the entire matrix ...

Sure, you could do this with mean() and a couple of for-loops but conv2() is way cooler:
xm3x3 = conv2(x,ones(3)*mean([0 1/9 2/9]),'same');

Of course he has conflicting requirements. "(excluding the first and last rows & columns, i.e. the elements on the edge) " means that he want the 'valid' option of conv2(), while "(the same size as the original matrix..." means that he wants the 'same' option of conv2().
I saw that. When in doubt, go same, it's easier to extract than create.
