Conversion

[aenirtower]

I am having trouble doing this:

200

let's say I want to convert that to

2 hundred (actual answer)

how would I do that?

[dalecosp]

I actually don't know of a function that'll do this (take int X and convert it to a textual English representation...) I guess you could start with [man]strval[/man] or some such and code your own function.

You'll note, if you look up the old Code Contest #2 in the forums here (Echo Lounge), that the guys went to interesting measures to accomplish this for "X bottles of beer on the wall..."

If anyone knows of such, I'm also interested/curious.

[aenirtower]

what i'm saying is... for each 200 add 1...

[dalecosp]

Ah, that's different?

$num=floor($val/200);
echo $num. " hundred";

Actually, and not intending to offend, but what you're saying, as of yet, makes little sense to me.

If it's important, explain it a tad better, if you don't mind. I'm usually happy to help, but I am not a mindreader. :rolleyes:

[aenirtower]

its like...

if $exp's number is 200 $level's number is 1...
if $exp's number is 400 $level's number is 2...
if $exp's number is 600 $level's number is 3...

(and so on)

get it?

why are you guys fighting here.. cool down..

anyway i dont know if this is corerct

<?
  if($exp <= 200) { $level = 1; }
  if($exp <= 400) { $level = 2; }
  if($exp <= 600) { $level = 3; }
?>

[osusano]

<?
if($exp <= 200) { $level = 1; }
if(($exp >= 201) || ($exp <= 400)) { $level = 2; }
if(($exp <= 401) || ($exp <= 600)) { $level = 3; }
?>

[drawmack]

$level = (int)($exp/200);

good old integer division.

[dalecosp]

Yup, and who's fighting?

Steven, did you get it?? There's at least three ways here.....

I know but drawmack's way worked only...
