float to int?

igorek

any suggestions?

$var1 = '5493.0000';

// i need to get rid of the 4 zeros to the right
rtrim($var1, '.0000');

// i want to convert it to integer now is that possible?
settype($var1, integer);

// i get back a true (1) but loose the number stored in $var1

[man]intval/man ? [man]floor/man? [man]round/man? [man]printf/man?

bradg has already given you some functions to try.

using simply
$a = (int)$var1;
will just cut off any decimals, 5492.9999 will become 5492

the more exact
$b = (int)round($var1);
will ound to closest integer value, 5492.9999 will become 5493

So, if you do not need any special precision, use just: $vint = (int)$var1;
Otherwise the [man]round/man function is to prefer.

Here you can make tests, and see what happens
for different values of $var1

<?php

$var1 = '5492.9999';

$var2 =       (int)$var1;
$var3 = (int)round($var1);

// see results
echo '<pre>';
echo 'v2= '; var_dump($var2);
echo 'v3= '; var_dump($var3);

?>

< thank you i am just sick today life sux something so simple i kept putting int($var) instead of (int)$var1

int() isn't a function. You can use the keyword 'int' enclosed in parenthesis, however, to cast to an integer. [man]intval/man is the function that does pretty much the same thing, AFAIK.
