Using array_slice:

$a = array ( 1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 5, 10, 7, 6, 8, 0 );
rsort($a);
$largest = array_slice($a, 0, 5);

Check this out

$array_b4_change=array("knittl", "limón", "naranja", "plátano", "manzana" , "vikas" ,"wazzzy");
rsort($array_b4_change);

Use

array_slice($array_b4_change, 0, 5);

After you rsort just slice the array using array_slice:

$ouput = array_slice($array, 0, 5);

If you already have the array organized you could output it with

for ($i = 0; $i <= 4; $i++) {
    print $array[$i];
}
