[SOLVED] will this code round up?

[webguync]

Will the following code automatically round up or do I need to add 'round' into the code? For example I want the result in the database for $pcnt to round up. If it is 89.5 to round up to 90.

 

<td><?php echo (number_format(($pcnt[$i]*100),2).'%'); ?></td>

You will need to add ceil to round it up I believe.

 

But have you tested that code? Generally you should try it before posting and if you have tried it make a note of that.

From http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php#88424

this is how number_format() rounds:

<?php

$numbers = array(0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004, 0.005, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008, 0.009);

foreach ($numbers as $number)

print $number."->".number_format($number, 2, '.', ',')."<br>";

?>

 

0.001->0.00

0.002->0.00

0.003->0.00

0.004->0.00

0.005->0.01

0.006->0.01

0.007->0.01

0.008->0.01

0.009->0.01

You need to use round() to round up.

 

$num = 8.95;
$num = round($num);

 

ceil rounds fractions up so 4.3 will become 5

after reading your original post again, it looks like you shouldn't be using number_format() at all. just use round() if you want natural rounding(<.5 down >=.5 up), or ceil() if you want everything to round up

Yep, you are right. Sorry, my brain is dead tired today lol! Thanks for correcting me, however.

yep, using ROUND works as I want, thanks!
