$category = "whatever variable has the highest number";

[Hero_Doug]

I have a bunch of variables containing numeric values.

I want to make a statement like this

$variable1 = 1;
$variable2 = 44;
$variable3 = 3;
$variable4 = 67;
$variable5 = 78;

$category = "whatever variable has the highest number";

Use an array instead of strings and then sort the array numerically descending. $array[0] will then be the highest number.

thanks

also, see the max() function:

How would you do that?

rsort($array);
