Asuming a value is zero

[discostudio]

I have a stock status and sometimes when we have "back-orders" the stock value will be -225

I would like to asume this to be zero and display it as so.

Is there a pre-defined function or operatior within that will do so?

I tried intval($stock) but showed the minus figure, any one any ideas?

Is that a negative 225?
If so do you want any stock value lower or equal to zero displayed as zero?

Yeh, exactly! - If it is Zero or negative the I need itto say 0.

if($stock <= 0)
{
   echo "The stock is 0";
}

What this is does is checks if the value of "$stock" is less than or equal to zero.

Or, if you're doing this in a SQL query, you can do this with a SQL IF() statement:

SELECT IF(`stock` < 0, 0, `stock`) FROM `myTable`
