This was tested on version 4.4.0, 4.4.1, 4.4.4 for Windows. This may
be a documentation problem or an issue with the function itself
depending on the intended functionality.

Description:
------------
>From the php documentation for the min function "PHP will evaluate a
non-numeric string as 0, but still return the string if it's seen as the
numerically lowest value."
It seems that this is incorrect. When a non-numeric string and a
numeric string are passed in, the numeric string seems to be returned as
the the min value.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo min("a", "2");
echo "\n";
echo min("2", "a");
echo "\n";
echo min("a", "-2");
echo "\n";
echo min("-2", "a");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
a
a
-2
-2
Actual result:
--------------
2
2
-2
-2
