php find out if array contains values of over 0?

Question

Without looping through each value in an array, is there any shortcut to checking whether it contains values over 0?

Eg

array(3,0,0) would be TRUE

array(0,0,0) would be FALSE

array(-2,0,-3) would be FALSE

if (max(array(3,0,0)) > 0) echo 'greater than 0';

I am uncertain if this qualifies as a true shortcut. It may be shorter to type in code, but the implementation cannot be more efficient than a loop.

@Feysal are we talking about premature micro optimization? If yes: don't do it...
