Need to get specific indexes out of a PHP array

function select(list[1..n], k)
     for i from 1 to k
         maxIndex = i
         maxValue = list[i]
         for j from i+1 to n
             if list[j] > maxValue
                 maxIndex = j
                 maxValue = list[j]
         swap list[i] and list[maxIndex]
     return list[k]

newarray[] = select(array, 1);
newarray[] = select(array, 2);
newarray[] = select(array, 3);

function threeLargest($array){
 krsort($array, "SORT_NUMERIC");
 $return[0] = $array[0];
 $return[1] = $array[1];
 $return[2] = $array[2];
 return $return;
}
