PHP Array: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a PHP script to get the shortest/longest string length from an array.

Sample arrays : ("abcd","abc","de","hjjj","g","wer")

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Define an array named $my_array with string elements
$my_array = array("abcd", "abc", "de", "hjjj", "g", "wer");

// Use 'array_map' to apply the 'strlen' function to each element in $my_array
$new_array = array_map('strlen', $my_array);

// Output a message indicating the shortest and longest array lengths using 'min' and 'max' functions
echo "The shortest array length is " . min($new_array) .
    ". The longest array length is " . max($new_array) . '.';

?>

Output:

The shortest array length is 1. The longest array length is 4.
