[SOLVED] Percentages

[supanoob]

Ok, so i have a skill level and i want to turn that into a percentage which is easy enough to do but then i want to use that percentage to give them a chance to do something. for example:

someone has a skill level of 35.

i then want to take that and make it 35% which i can do.

then i want to make it so they then have 35% chance to successfully do something.

any advise me on how to do this.

One way would be too use rand().

[code]
<?php
$skill = 35;
$randnumber = rand(1,100);
if ($randnumber <= $skill) {
  // success
} else {
  // failure
}
?>
[/code]
