Is there something that's larger than any numbers in PHP?

Question

I need to simulate a ∞ in PHP.

So that min(∞,$number) is always $number.

Answer 1

If your only concern is comparison function then yes, you can use array(), it will be always larger then any number

like

echo min(array(), 9999999999999999);

or

if (array() > 9999999999999999) {
  echo 'array won';
} else {
  echo 'number won';
}
