Getting the min and max values from a PHP array

Question

Is there a built in PHP function that will allow you get the minimum and maximum values from a PHP array?

If not, what's the most efficient way of doing this for the general case?

$array = array(1, 2, 3);

$min = min($array);
$max = max($array);
