For instance, I am perhaps reading data from a log file, or from some other outside source where I have no idea going in how many values I am going to get. To then pass this data to min() or max(), without doing a if...else loop in *my* code (knowing that PHP will do the right thing) would be a lot nicer, IMHO. Yes, I could recode my scripts. But it seems intuitive to me to just do this. > Anyway, the easiest way to this would simply be to change: <snip> > Adding an if .. else is really kind-of unneccessary. Okay ... that's why I posted the code to the list first before committing. - Colin
