min and max functions

If I have a series of integers, how do I get the minimum (or maximum) value
NOT equaled to 0??

You could stuff the values into an array and run array_filter on it
(removing 0 values). Then min/max on the array will give you the requested
result..

Hope I've got this one right, but I'd put the numbers in to an array,
perform a sort and then do an array_pop and an array_shift to take the first
and elements from the array - If either number was a zero, I'd perform the
the same routines again as they take the last and first element from the
array hence eventually you would get the lowest and highest number.

I've not tested this idea though for negative numbers but hope it gives you
some direction.
