Well i wanna remove the .587254564 and keep the 252, how can i do that?

Answer 1

In PHP you would use:

$value = floor($value);

floor: Returns the next lowest integer value by rounding the value down if necessary.

If you wanted to round up it would be:

$value = ceil($value);

ceil: Returns the next highest integer value by rounding the value up if necessary.
