The min() and max() docs have been updated (rewritten) and will show up after the next manual build. Thanks for the report :) http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/math/functions/max.xml http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/math/functions/min.xml
max(array("tdCommon", 0)) => "tdCommon" // not a number The documentation at php.net/max claims: If one or more of the values is a float, all the values will be treated as floats, and a float is returned. If none of the values is a float, all of them will be treated as integers, and an integer is returned. Evidently, the behaviour of this function was intended to change (extrapolating from http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=2676 (bug # 2676)). This should be reflected in the documentation. (I was trying to get the key of the most recent element I had created in a "semi-associative" array by $array[] = $newVal and max as advertised would have done the trick. Could it still work? I don't know, because I don't really know what it's supposed to be doing anymore. For example, what type of sort is being done now?). Csaba Gabor
