Write a PHP function that returns the lowest integer that is not 0.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Define a function named 'min_values_not_zero' that takes an array of values as input
function min_values_not_zero(Array $values)
{
    // Use 'array_map' to convert each element to an integer, 'array_diff' to exclude zero, and 'min' to find the minimum value
    return min(array_diff(array_map('intval', $values), array(0)));
}

// Call the 'min_values_not_zero' function with an example array and print the result
print_r(min_values_not_zero(array(-1, 0, 1, 12, -100, 1)) . "\n");
?>

Output:

-100
