Removing the Decimal....

[JustJay]

OK I tried the (int) and round() tricks - and even tried to settype($varName, "double) <pre php 4.2.0> and I am still getting massive decimal points....

$TotalVotes = $totalRows_Recordset1 + $totalRows_Recordset2 + $totalRows_Recordset3 + $totalRows_Recordset4 + $totalRows_Recordset5;
(int)$Percent5 = $totalRows_Recordset5 / $TotalVotes *100;
(int)$Percent4 = $totalRows_Recordset4 / $TotalVotes *100;
(int)$Percent3 = $totalRows_Recordset3 / $TotalVotes *100;
(int)$Percent2 = $totalRows_Recordset2 / $TotalVotes *100;
(int)$Percent1 = $totalRows_Recordset1 / $TotalVotes *100;

What am I over looking?? I tried following this thread

You can try using the number_format() function.

In reading that I do not see how it would remove the decimal? It would just change between the English decimal system and the French comma system (which will be handy when my sites go bilingual) but I am not seeing how this will return just a rounded up whole number...

I just thought it could be used as follows:

$Percent5 = number_format(($totalRows_Recordset5 / $TotalVotes) *100, 0);

I think you mean

$Percent5 = (int)($totalRows_Recordset5 / $TotalVotes *100); 

But see also [man]floor[/man], [man]ceil[/man], [man]round[/man], and [man]intval[/man].

That totally worked....see results on the POLL here ---

Thanks so much --
