We can take an array with both negative and positive numbers. We will use array_map() built in PHP function to change all negative elements to positive by using abs function.<?Php
$a= array(1,-2,4,-7.3,105);
$b=array_map("abs",$a);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($b)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}
