Getting the max amount from foreach

[ianp]

I am an intern with a friend and he asked me to program a script where it gets the largest amount. I setup a function but am not sure how to go on from there, can anyone help me? By the way max_amt is suppose to be the max amount.

$day = array('0','-1','-2','-3','-4');
foreach($day as $night)
{
if ($night === end($day))
     {
	$end = '';
}else
{
	$end = ',';
}
	 include('../Connections/default.php');
	 $date_m = date('m', strtotime(''.$night.' days'));
	 $date_d = date('d', strtotime(''.$night.' days'));
	 $date_Y = date('Y', strtotime(''.$night.' days'));
	 mysql_select_db($database_default, $default);
         $query_uvs = "SELECT DISTINCT `ip` FROM `stats` WHERE `month` = '".$date_m."' AND `day` = '".$date_d."' AND `year` = '".$date_Y."'";
         $uvs = mysql_query($query_uvs, $default) or die(mysql_error());
     $total_uvs = mysql_num_rows($uvs);
echo  ''.$total_uvs.''.$end.'';
}
$max_amt = '1';

Largest amount of what?

 

Array - see max()

 

SQL - SELECT whatever FROM table ORDER BY value DESC LIMIT 1

This script makes the numbers from the array appear like this 1,2,3,4,5 I have tried max but it does not work.

It does work. You need to be more clear in what you're trying to do. The script displayed is mostly nonsense to us, and is poorly written.

The script I programmed is suppose to echo 1,2,3,4,5. The problem is when I try max(vcount(array('0','-1','-2','-3','-4'))) it just display 1,2,3,4,5. (I tried doing a function with the same foreach method shown in my previous post.)

?

 

So... it's doing what you want, but that's not what it's supposed to do?
