SOLVED: If numerical variable is not whole integer, I want to always round up..

[Guest kilbad]

If I have a variable, let's say $numerator, and I want to divide by a constant number, let's say 4, what PHP command can I use to always round the result up, even if the resulting value is less than .5?

So for example:
$result = $numerator/4;
..in the case that $numerator=1, what could I use to round $result up to 1?

Thank you so much in advance!
