How can I find the maximum and minimum date in an array?
Solution 1:
<?php
$date_arr=array(0=>'20-05-2015',1=>'02-01-2015',2=>'30-03-2015');
usort($date_arr, function($a, $b) {
$dateTimestamp1 = strtotime($a);
$dateTimestamp2 = strtotime($b);
return $dateTimestamp1 < $dateTimestamp2 ? -1: 1;
});
echo 'Min: ' . $date_arr[0];
echo '<br/>';
echo 'Max: ' . $date_arr[count($date_arr) - 1];
?>
Solution 2:
max() and min() works fine with your array:
echo "Latest Date: ". max($dates)."\n";
echo "Earliest Date: ". min($dates)."\n";
