Find a matching or closest value in an array

by

Pass in the number you’re searching for as the first parameter and the array of numbers to the second:

function getClosest($search, $arr) {
   $closest = null;
   foreach ($arr as $item) {
      if ($closest === null || abs($search - $closest) > abs($item - $search)) {
         $closest = $item;
      }
   }
   return $closest;
}
