Is Closest To...

[verdrm]

I would like to bold text if a percentage is closest to 100.

 

Example:

 

$total = ($one / $two) * 100;

 

echo $total;

 

How would I accomplish that using an IF statement or something similar?

What do you define as closest to 100? You can just do a simple range comparison:

 

// if $total greater than 80, wrap $total in bold tags
if($total > 80)
{
   echo '<b>' . $total . '</b>';
}
// if $total greater than 50 but less than 80, wrap $total in itialic tags
elseif($total > 50 && $total < 80)
{
   echo '<i>' . $total . '</i>';
}
// $total is than 50, wrap $total in underline tags
elseif($total < 50)
{
   echo '<u>' . $total . '</u>';
}

for each value

    Calculate $percentage

    Calculate $diff = abs(100 - $percentage)

 

Smallest $diff is closest to 100.
