[RESOLVED] Compare Values, Select Highest Value

[jazappi]

After scrouring the web, the boards, and various books, along with consuming many Red Bulls, I have failed to come up with a good solution for the problem below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What I am looking to do is find out which of the three varibles is the highest value, then assign that value to the new varible of $highest_value. For Example:

//Sometimes the tier3price may be higher then tier1price, it is random
$tier1price = "2900";
$tier2price = "500";
$tier3price = "0";

//Compare the above values, THIS IS THE PART I NEED HELP WITH



//output highest value
$highest_value = ""

[leatherback]

echo max($tier1price, $tier2price, $tier3price);

[thorpe]

$vals = array(2900,500,0);
$tmp = '0';
foreach ($vals as $v) {
  if ($v > $tmp) {
    $tmp = $v;
  }
}
echo $tmp;
