@viviane You can use max() function to find largest number in array using PHP, here is code as example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<?php $arr = [1, 2, 15, 3, 4, 5]; // Output: 15 echo max($arr); |

You can use the max() function in PHP to find the largest number in an array. Here's an example:
1 2 3 |
$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); $largest = max($numbers); echo $largest; // Output: 5 |
Alternatively, you can also use a foreach loop to iterate through the array and compare each element to a variable storing the current largest number, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); $largest = 0; foreach ($numbers as $number) { if ($number > $largest) { $largest = $number; } } echo $largest; // Output: 5 |
You can also use the php function array_reduce() to achieve this
1 2 3 4 5 |
$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); $largest = array_reduce($numbers, function ($a, $b) { return max($a, $b); }); echo $largest; // Output: 5 |
