[Resolved] removing remainders...

[dv6cougar]

i've searched thoroughly on both here and the manual but without any success.

so I have a voting system for cars... now I don't want people to see long decimals (remainders).
How can I remove the decimal?

someone mentioned using the % module somewhere, but I didn't quite understand how that would work.

I've thought about using ereg_replace() or preg_replace() or str_replace()

so maybe I could use this...

str_replace(".+[^[:digit:]]", "", $string);

after some more research

//i'd be more like this
str_replace("\.(.)[[:digit:]]", "", $string);
//still no luck though

or something like that..? i'm not sure if the [^[digit]] would be parsed correctly, but i'm gonna give that one a shot real quick.

any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

My usual way round this is to cast the result as an int:

code=php$result = ($var1 / $var2);[/code]

You could also try using the round() function.

Hope this helps. 🙂

You could also try explode() ...

$myNum = 1.314;
$myNumbers = explode('.', $myNum);
print $myNumbers[0]; //prints '1'
print $myNumbers[1]; //prints '314'

i looked at explode, but i'll try the round() function first and if not use the (int)

thanks alot 🙂

round() works perfectly! 🙂
