<?php
$arrays = array('05' => 'Ted',
                    '02' => 'A',
                      '04' => 'B',);

foreach ($arrays as $number => $name)

so...was the answer given to you in your query thread not good enough?

[ted_chou12]

this is different... :( is array, not mysql table...

[.josh]

but aren't you asking the same question? Using the same data from the same table? Only difference I'm seeing is that you are asking how to do it with php instead of sql.  Does that about sum it up?  Because if so, then stick with the sql version; that's what it was designed for.

[ted_chou12]

sticky of sql version?

[code=php:0]<?php
$arrays = array('05' => 'Ted',
                    '02' => 'A',
                      '04' => 'B',);
$max = '0'; # Must be less than all numbers
foreach ($arrays as $number => $name) {
  $max = max($max, $number);
}
echo "Maximum is number $max with value {$arrays[$max]}\n";
?>[/code]
