How Do I change 0.20 to look like 20.0\%

[Anon]

I couldn't find this in the archives.

Simple thing, I imagine, I just can't figure out the PHP function that does this.

I am doing math in PHP using "number_format(),

---

Code Ex.

$percentage = $totalrequests/$todaysrequests;

$percentagerounded = number_format($percentage,2);

Whereas if the variables were filled in, the math would look like...

$percentage = 25/5;

Which would result in

0.20

However, I want to convert 0.20 so it looks like this...

20.0%

What PHP function am I looking for?

Thanks

Well, sometimes I believe I think too much. I just multiplied the result by 100 and added a % sign (doh!).

Here is the new code I added for anybody who is more lost than I am.... 🙂

------- Old Code --------
$percentage = $totalrequests/$todaysrequests;
$percentagerounded = number_format($percentage,2);

Print "$percentagerounded";

Printed Result --> 0.20

------- New Code --------
$percentage = $totalrequests/$todaysrequests;
$percentagerounded = number_format($percentage,3); // Changed 2 to 3
$percentageround2 = $percentageround * 100; //Added this line

Print "$percentagerounded2%";

Printed Result --> 20.0%
