[SOLVED] Selecting digits out of a number

[xeidor]

I have a number such as 1234 in a database, what I would like to do is just select the first two digits of the number and ignore the last two. I need just the first two numbers to do a calculation with.

 

Does anyone know of a way to do this in php?

 

Thanks for any help

<?php

$num = 12345;

$num = strval($num);

$num = substr($num,0,2);

$num = intval($num);

?>
