[php] Get min and max value in PHP Array

I have an array like this:

array (0 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172713',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '200',
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172747',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '180',
  ),
  2 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172827',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '175',
  ),
  3 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110211204433',
    'Date' => '2011-02-11',
    'Weight' => '195',
  ),
)

I need to extract minimal and maximal Weight values. In this example

$min_value = 175

$max_value = 200

Any help on how to do this ? Thank you !

How about without using predefined function like min or max ?

$arr = [4,5,6,7,8,2,9,1];
$val = $arr[0];
$n = count($arr);

for($i=1;$i<$n;$i++) {
if($val<$arr[$i]) {
    $val = $val;        
} else {
    $val = $arr[$i];
}
}
print($val);

?>

$num = array (0 => array ('id' => '20110209172713', 'Date' => '2011-02-09', 'Weight' => '200'),
          1 => array ('id' => '20110209172747', 'Date' => '2011-02-09', 'Weight' => '180'),
          2 => array ('id' => '20110209172827', 'Date' => '2011-02-09', 'Weight' => '175'),
          3 => array ('id' => '20110211204433', 'Date' => '2011-02-11', 'Weight' => '195'));

    foreach($num as $key => $val)   
    {                       
        $weight[] = $val['Weight'];
    }

     echo max($weight);
     echo min($weight);

<?php 
$array = array (0 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172713',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '200',
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172747',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '180',
  ),
  2 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110209172827',
    'Date' => '2011-02-09',
    'Weight' => '175',
  ),
  3 => 
  array (
    'id' => '20110211204433',
    'Date' => '2011-02-11',
    'Weight' => '195',
  ),
);

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
  $result[$key] = $value['Weight'];
}
$min = min($result);
$max = max($result);

echo " The array in Minnumum number :".$min."<br/>";
echo " The array in Maximum  number :".$max."<br/>";
?> 

print fast five maximum and minimum number from array without use of sorting array in php :-

<?php  

$array = explode(',',"78, 60, 62, 68, 71, 68, 73, 85, 66, 64, 76, 63, 81, 76, 73,  
68, 72, 73, 75, 65, 74, 63, 67, 65, 64, 68, 73, 75, 79, 73");  
$t=0;  
$l=count($array);  
foreach($array as $v)  
{  
 $t += $v;  
}  
 $avg= $t/$l;  
 echo "average Temperature is : ".$avg."  ";   


echo "<br>List of seven highest temperatsures :-"; 
$m[0]= max($array); 
for($i=1; $i <7 ; $i++)
{ 
$m[$i]=max(array_diff($array,$m));
}
foreach ($m as $key => $value) {
    echo "  ".$value; 
}
echo "<br> List of seven lowest temperatures : ";
$mi[0]= min($array); 
for($i=1; $i <7 ; $i++)
{ 
$mi[$i]=min(array_diff($array,$mi));
}

foreach ($mi as $key => $value) {
    echo "  ".$value; 
}
?>  

$Location_Category_array = array(5,50,7,6,1,7,7,30,50,50,50,40,50,9,9,11,2,2,2,2,2,11,21,21,1,12,1,5);

asort($Location_Category_array);
$count=array_count_values($Location_Category_array);//Counts the values in the array, returns associatve array
        print_r($count);
        $maxsize = 0;
        $maxvalue = 0;
        foreach($count as $a=>$y){
            echo "<br/>".$a."=".$y;
            if($y>=$maxvalue){
                $maxvalue = $y;
                if($a>$maxsize){
                    $maxsize = $a;
                }
            }
        }

    echo "<br/>max = ".$maxsize;

foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
  $tArray[$k] = $v['Weight'];
}
$min_value = min($tArray);
$max_value = max($tArray);

It is interesting to note that both the solutions above use extra storage in form of arrays (first one two of them and second one uses one array) and then you find min and max using "extra storage" array. While that may be acceptable in real programming world (who gives a two bit about "extra" storage?) it would have got you a "C" in programming 101.

The problem of finding min and max can easily be solved with just two extra memory slots

$first = intval($input[0]['Weight']);
$min = $first ;
$max = $first ;

foreach($input as $data) {
    $weight = intval($data['Weight']);

    if($weight <= $min ) {
        $min =  $weight ;
    }

    if($weight > $max ) {
        $max =  $weight ;
    }

}

echo " min = $min and max = $max \n " ;

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'));
