How to get whole and decimal part of a number?

Question

Given, say, 1.25 - how do I get \"1\" and .\"25\" parts of this number?

I need to check if the decimal part is .0, .25, .5, or .75.

Answer 1

Brad Christie's method is essentially correct but it can be written more concisely.

function extractFraction ($value) 
{
    $fraction   = $value - floor ($value);
    if ($value < 0)
    {
        $fraction *= -1;
    }

    return $fraction;
}

This is equivalent to his method but shorter and hopefully easier to understand as a result.
