note 98048 added to function.max

max() on undefined parameters does not assume the value is zero, it ignores it. <?php $dimensions = array('left' => -2); // If $dimensions['right'] was never set, // we may expect it to be treated as zero, but print max($dimensions['left'], $dimensions['right']); // // Returns -2, not zero <?php print max(0+$dimensions['left'], 0+$dimensions['right']); ?> would be a work-around, but it's probably tidier to ensure your values are set correctly first.
