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

I was having a hard time finding a way to actually separate the dollar amount and the amount after the decimal. I think I figured it out mostly and thought to share if any of yall were having trouble

So basically...

if price is 1234.44... whole would be 1234 and decimal would be 44 or

if price is 1234.01... whole would be 1234 and decimal would be 01 or

if price is 1234.10... whole would be 1234 and decimal would be 10

and so forth

$price = 1234.44;

$whole = intval($price); // 1234
$decimal1 = $price - $whole; // 0.44000000000005 uh oh! that's why it needs... (see next line)
$decimal2 = round($decimal1, 2); // 0.44 this will round off the excess numbers
$decimal = substr($decimal2, 2); // 44 this removed the first 2 characters

if ($decimal == 1) { $decimal = 10; } // Michel's warning is correct...
if ($decimal == 2) { $decimal = 20; } // if the price is 1234.10... the decimal will be 1...
if ($decimal == 3) { $decimal = 30; } // so make sure to add these rules too
if ($decimal == 4) { $decimal = 40; }
if ($decimal == 5) { $decimal = 50; }
if ($decimal == 6) { $decimal = 60; }
if ($decimal == 7) { $decimal = 70; }
if ($decimal == 8) { $decimal = 80; }
if ($decimal == 9) { $decimal = 90; }

echo 'The dollar amount is ' . $whole . ' and the decimal amount is ' . $decimal;
