What are alternative approaches or functions in PHP that can be used to achieve the same result as the code snippet provided in the forum thread for finding the largest number in an array?

The issue is finding the largest number in an array using PHP. One alternative approach is to use the `max()` function in PHP, which returns the highest value in an array. Another option is to sort the array in descending order using the `rsort()` function and then retrieve the first element of the sorted array. Alternative code snippet using the `max()` function: 

$array = [10, 5, 8, 20, 15];
$largest_number = max($array);
echo "The largest number in the array is: " . $largest_number;
```

Alternative code snippet using sorting:
```php
$array = [10, 5, 8, 20, 15];
rsort($array);
$largest_number = $array[0];
echo "The largest number in the array is: " . $largest_number;
