note 87547 added to function.max

An interesting feature not mentioned is that if a recursive array is passed to max, max will return the sub-array containing the highest value. Example: <?php $depth3=array( array(array(1,6,3),array(7,2,5),array(9,3,0)), array(array(2,1,8),array(4,4,5),array( 99 ,6,7)), array(array(0,3,2),array(5,91,11),array(42,25,12))); $depth2=max($depth3); // = array(array(2,1,8),array(4,4,5),array( 99 ,6,7)) $depth1=max($depth2); // = array( 99 ,6,7) $depth0=max($depth1); // = 99 echo max(max(max($depth3))); // echo 99; ?> ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 85.177.188.12 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.max.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87547 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87547 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87547 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
