Simple Array Question

[mrxxlphp]

Hi guys, I need some help with an array question. I have the following loop:

$aps = array("192.168.1.10", "192.168.1.70", "192.168.1.38", "192.168.1.12");
reset($aps);
foreach ($aps as $value)
{
$number = rand(5, 15);
}

It runs once for each member of the $aps array. Now when it runs it generates $number. What I need is a way that, once the loop has run, I can find out which $number is the highest and also which value from the $aps array is linked with it.

I hope this make sence. Whats I ideally want is an array like this:

array ("192.168.1.10" -> "7877098",
"192.168.1.70" -> "7877098") etc etc

and a way of returning the highest value and the arrays key.

Thanks, Stuart

Something like this?

<?php
$aps = array(
   "192.168.1.10",
   "192.168.1.70",
   "192.168.1.38",
   "192.168.1.12"
);
$numbers = array();
foreach($aps as $value) {
   $numbers[$value] = rand(5, 15);
}
arsort($numbers);
printf("<pre>&#37;s</pre>", print_r($numbers,1));
$highestKey = key($numbers);
echo $highestKey . ": " . $numbers[$highestKey];

Wow thanks, that did the trick! The bit I was missing was being able to do:

$numbers[$highestKey];

It doesn't need to be hard coded and can sue a variable!

Thanks again, really appreciate it!
