maxOfPolicies()

static UserPasswordPolicy::maxOfPolicies ( array $p1, array $p2 )

Utility function to get a policy that is the most restrictive of $p1 and $p2.

For simplicity, we setup the policy values so the maximum value is always more restrictive. It is also used recursively to merge settings within the same policy.

Parameters

array	$p1
array	$p2

Returns

array containing the more restrictive values of $p1 and $p2
