如何从数组行中获取最小值

Question

I trying to get the minimum values from the any column contains "xx" in the column name.

Below is my code:

<?php
$array = array(
 array(
  'id' => 1,
  '10xx' => 14,
  '11xx' => 32,
  '12xx' => 4
 ),

  array(
   'id' => 2,
  '10xx' => 13,
  '11xx' => 36,
  '12xx' => 41
 )
);



foreach($array as $item)
{
 $lowestKey = '';
 foreach($item as $key => $value)
 {


  if(strpos($key, 'xx') === 0)
  {

   if($lowestKey == '')
   {
    $lowestKey = $key;
   }
   else
   {
    if($value < $item[$lowestKey])
    {
     $lowestKey = $key;
    }
   }
  }
 }

 echo 'lowest for id ' . $item['id'] . ': ' . $item[$lowestKey] . "
";
}
?>

You have a function already for it:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.min.php

echo min(2, 3, 1, 6, 7);  // 1
echo min(array(2, 4, 5)); // 2

echo min(0, 'hello');     // 0
echo min('hello', 0);     // hello
echo min('hello', -1);    // -1

Combine it with array_values if this fits better your needs.
