Do you have a clue what your code is doing? Or did you just come up with it? What is the use of writing code that you don't understand? Not going to do your homework, but will give you some hints: it seems your function accepts an array as parameter, and returns a new array. to find the largest number, you could say the first number in the array is the current biggest. And then you loop through all the values, and remember the array number when you meet a value that is greater than the current biggest. Now it's only a matter of building the new array, and resetting your index to 0 when it's as big as the biggest found earlier. http://www.php.net/functions http://www.php.net/foreach -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Tim Van Wassenhove <http://www.timvw.info> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
