[SOLVED] decimal problem

[DEVILofDARKNESS]

How can I make From a random number like 1,0383 => 1?

Examples:

2,00001 => 2

2,9992 => 2

It just always has to become the first whole number under the number itself.

 

My question is how should I program it in php?

I know how you make it a float point?

but then 2,998 will become 3 :-s

How is this number generated?  If it's a number in a string it's as simple as:

 

$var = '2,340';
echo $var[0];

[The Little Guy]

$string = '2,00001';

echo $string{0};

[soak]

if 2,998 is 2.998 (i.e. nearly three) then you can use floor($number)

[The Little Guy]

actually I would use intval

 

<?php
echo intval('4,20000000000000000000');
echo '<br>';
echo intval('420,000000000000000000');
?>
