I'm tring to get the highest number from a foreach loop:

 

	$highest = 0;
foreach ($numbers->number as $number) {
	if($number > $highest) {
		$highest = $number;
	} 
}
echo $highest;

 

Now why doesn't that work?

 

or this:

	$i = 0;
foreach ($numbers->number as $number) {
	$numberarray[$i] = $number;
	$i++;
}
echo max($numberarray);

 

Surely this is a simple thing to do?

If $number is an array of numbers, could you not just do:

 

echo max(array_values($numbers));

 

If $numbers is some other structure, can you give more info?

It's a simple XML object.

<?php
$max = 0;
foreach(  $numbers->number as $n ) $max= max( $n, $max );

Not sure if max() will return what you want as $number is an object.

However, using a combo of your first two attempts should work.

$highest = 0;
  foreach($numbers->number as $number) {
	if($number > $highest) {
		$highest++;
	}
}
echo $highest;
