)
Example
4$val = max(array(2, 4, 8), array(2, 5, 1)); // array(2, 5, 1)// If both an array and non-array are given, the array will be returned// as comparisons treat arrays as greater than any other value$val = max('string', array(2, 5, 7), 42); // array(2, 5, 7)// If one argument is NULL or a boolean, it will be compared against// other values using the rule FALSE < TRUE regardless of the other types involved// In the below example, -10 is treated as TRUE in the comparison$val = max(-10, FALSE); // -10// 0, on the other hand, is treated as FALSE, so is "lower than" TRUE$val = max(0, TRUE); // TRUE?>
