Hi all,
I have an array like this:
$chance = array("lowercase" => 27, "uppercase" => 62, "integer"
=> 46);
The values for each of the keys are randomly generated. I want to find the key name of the one which
has the highest value. Currently, I'm doing this as follows:
arsort($chance);
foreach ($chance as $type => $value)
{
$result = $type;
break;
}
At this point, $result would be equal to "uppercase". I feel like this is a really
kludgey way to accomplish this. Is there a better way?
Regards,
Carlton Whitehead
