<?
  print(min(1, 17, 3, 5.5, "hello") . "<BR>\n");
  print(max(1, 17, 3, 5.5, "hello") . "<BR>\n");
?>

Under PHP 3.0.12 this generates:

1
hello

Under PHP 4b2 this generates:
hello
17

It looks like min and max are always comparing elements by their double value.  If there are any string values in the list, the comparison should be made alphabetically.
