This sample program that I wrote in PHP will check for the highest and lowest number from the five number given by the user using one dimensional array in PHP. Take note I did not use any built in function in PHP like Max and Min function to determine the highest and lowest number. I hope you will find my work useful in learning how to program in PHP.
If you have some questions please send me an email at jake.r.pomperada@gmail.com and jakerpomperada@yahoo.com.
