The examples for solutions here are great and there have been some brilliant eye openers.
It must be clarified however, that the term "one-liner" means that the solution can be
acheived in one line of PHP code that does NOT require the use of a call to a manually created
function, OR any additional calculations or $variables inside the line.
Obviously, anyone can say "one liner solution" if they are just calling a function that
then has 200 lines in it, or just stuffing all their code on one line without proper line breaks.
The whole point of saying one-liner is to say that the solution can be achieved using a short hand
method and built in php functions, AND does not require the use of any other additional function
calls or calculations.
Example : Hugo Scott just said he has a long version and a "one liner" version. There is
absolutely no difference in both of his versions because both of them still only need a single call
to one of those functions. What's in the function is completely irrelevant, whether it be one
line or 3.
I hope that starts to make sense to people before we continue on this "I've got a one
liner" solutions when they aren't.
