Hi all.
I have a document page that needs to look at three different date fields, and return with the one that is the largest.
Is there an easier way to do this:
$Component->SetValue( $Container->date1->GetValue());
if ($Container->date2->GetValue() > $Container->date1->GetValue())
$Component->SetValue( $Container->date2->GetValue());
if ($Container->date3->GetValue() > $Container->date1->GetValue())
$Component->SetValue( $Container->date3->GetValue());
etc etc etc... its driving me mad.
There has to be an easier way. It's PHP after all!

in PHP: max( array($value1, $value1, $value3, ...) )
in MySQL: GREATEST(column1, column2, column3, ...)
