使用javascript或PHP查找最大X数的总和

Question

I have a list of five numbers echoed by php as demonstrated below:-

<div id="items">
<span class="number" id="one"><?php echo $one; //result = 1?> </span>

<span class="number" id="two"><?php echo $two; //result = 2?> </span>

<span class="number" id="three"><?php echo $three; //result = 3?> </span>

<span class="number" id="four"><?php echo $four; //result = 4?> </span>

<span class="number" id="five"><?php echo $five; //result = 5?> </span>

<div id="result"></div>
</div>

I would like to have a result of the best three scores displayed in the <div id="result"></div> div

For instance, in my question i would expect my result to be 12

I there a simple way of doing this. probably with javascript or even PHP?

Answer 1

<?php 
    $arr = array($one,$two,$three,$four,$five);
    arsort($arr);                    // sort descending, highest first
    $tre = array_slice($arr, 0, 3);  // first three
    $sum = array_sum($tre);          // summed up
?>

<div id="result"><?php echo $sum; ?></div>
