Get min and max value in PHP Array

Question

I have an array like this:

array (0 => 
  array (
    \'id\' => \'20110209172713\',
    \'Date\' => \'2011-02-09\',
    \'Weight\' => \'200\',
  ),
  1 =>          


        

Answer 1

For the people using PHP 5.5+ this can be done a lot easier with array_column. Not need for those ugly array_maps anymore.

How to get a max value:

$highest_weight = max(array_column($details, 'Weight'));

How to get the min value

$lowest_weight = min(array_column($details, 'Weight'));
