Round Numbers

I am getting a value from MySQL, but I'd like to do something with it.

I want to make a McDonald's-ish thing, like: 'Over 40,000 served' etc.

So if the value is 40001 it'd return 40000 if it was 2452 it'd return 2250, etc.

Am I making any sense? Basically rounding a number but in a different way.

Have you tried round() or is your point that this doesn't acomplish your goal?

Try this (let's say you want to round to every 5000):

echo 'Over '.($hits - ($hits % 5000)).' served!'

Great! After I posted the question I thought about it and I figured it was probably something with division. Thanks!
