note 87730 added to function.max

Just discovered that max() can find the longest strings in an array of strings. <?php $test=array("a","bc","def","ghij","kl","mno"); echo 'Longest string in test array is : '.max($test); ?> Will output : Longest string in test array is : ghij This appears to take the first occurance of the longest string so if we added "pqrs" to the end of the array is would still return "ghij". This wasn't clear but kind of hinted at in the function description. Obviously, this also works for min() for the shortest string. ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 81.139.57.163 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.max.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87730 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87730 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87730 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
