note 110278 added to language.types.float

i have created a FULLY MIXED max function!!! it uses someone else's code, so, credits for them!!! grycsys at gmail dot com --> thank you for your tiny piece of demonstration, you made this being possible for floats!!! kapilgopinath at gmail dot com --> thank you for creating this tiny and simple function to get the values from recursive AND associative arrays!!! here is the function: <?php /*mixed function created by me!!! *parameters: *str: the string (float and decimal int) OR ARRAY to check for the maximum value *del: splits the string into an array, divided by this defined char *returns: NULL if nothing was found, string with the highest value *check examples below */ function max_mix($str="",$del="") { $c=((is_array( $str=(($del=( (is_array($str))?"":$del ) )?explode($del,$str):$str)) )?count($str=@array_keys_multi($str)):strlen($str))-1; for($i=0;$i<=$c;$i++) { @$max=(( (is_float($str[$i])?(float)(string)$str[$i]:$str[$i]) >$max)?$str[$i]:$max); } return (((string)$max)?(string)$max:NULL); } //function created by kapilgopinath at gmail dot com //simply provide the array and use @ before calling this function!!! function array_keys_multi($array,&$vals) { foreach ($array as $key => $value) { if (is_array($value)) { array_keys_multi($value,$vals); }else{ $vals[] = $value; } } return $vals; } echo max_mix(array("dog","cat",array("mouse")),",");//returns mouse (idiot proof!!! doesn't try to explode an array!!!) echo max_mix("a.5,7.9,3á,á3",",");//returns á3 echo max_mix("1234567890");//returns 9 echo max_mix("1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i");//returns i ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 85.240.223.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110278 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110278 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110278 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
