Description:
------------
I am using PHP 5.6.4-4ubuntu6.2

The documentation does not describe the behaviour when an empty array is passed in or no arguments at all.

I get a warning in PHP 5.6, but this may be version specific. I would like to see the behaviour described for the min and max functions:
- warnings emitted
- return value

Test script:
---------------
<?php

print min(array()); // returns false, emits a warning in PHP 5.6
print min(); // returns NULL, emits a warning in PHP 5.6

All PHP functions will emit an E_WARNING and return false when a function's required arguments have not been passed in.

As for passing in empty arrays, I've made the following commit to mention this in both the min() and max() functions: https://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=338308
