reverse array

I have an array with dates as the key and then an integer for the value. So something like this

 

Array

(

    [6/2/2011] => 4

    [6/1/2011] => 3

    [6/4/2011] => 3

    [6/3/2011] => 2

    [6/6/2011] => 4

)

 

I'm trying to write a function that finds the highest value with max(); and then looks at the keys that have the highest value and then returns an array with the key as the most recent date and the value as the highest value. So in this case this function would return

 

Array

(

 

    [6/6/2011] => 4

 

)

 

does anybody have any suggestions on how i can accomplish this?

eh i got it with this

<?php
function check_minimums($minimums)
{
	$max = max($minimums);
	foreach($minimums as $date => $number)
	{
		if($number == $max)
		{
			$dates[$date] = $number;
		}

	}

	$recent = 0;
	foreach($dates as $date => $number)
	{
		$date = strtotime($date);
		if($date > $recent)
		{
			$recent = $date;
		}
	}

	$most_recent = array($recent, $max);
	return $most_recent;		
}
?>
