Description: int() - a custom php function


<?

function int($number) {
  // usage: int(N)
  // where N = a floating point number, e.g. 3.14
  $int = explode(".",$number);
  return $int[0];
}

?>


Just so you know:

$number is the number that the function takes in, it does not have to be:

int($number)

it can be:

int(3.14)

or:

int($mycrazyvariablethatholdsthenumber)

etc

This basically takes a floating point number and breaks it into pieces according to the decimal point and returns the first part of it (the integer). It's just a faster way to do it if you're going to use it a lot, instead of just doing explode everytime.

The explode function is breaking the variable's content's into pieces according to the decimal point and returning an array. You notice that I return $int[0] because that's the first item in the array (it starts with 0), which holds the integer part of our number :)

using int(), I added a duration() which I hope to change up a bit later.

Right now the syntax is:
duration(number)

and I soon hope to make it:
duration(number,fmt) where fmt is an int (1-3)

this is the first thing i've *ever* done in PHP (please don't laugh at me =( )and bh is making me post it so i guess i'll post it...


function duration($number) {
  $mysecs = $number;
  $myweeks = int($mysecs / 604800);
  $mysecs = $mysecs - $myweeks * 604800;
  $mydays = int($mysecs / 86400);
  $mysecs = $mysecs - ($mydays * 86400);
  $myhours = int($mysecs / 3600);
  $mysecs = $mysecs - ($myhours * 3600);
  $mymins = int($mysecs / 60);
  $mysecs = $mysecs - ($mymins * 60);
  if ($myweeks == 1) $myweeks2 = "$myweeks week";
  elseif ($myweeks != 0) $myweeks2 = "$myweeks weeks";
  if ($mydays == 1) $mydays2 = "$mydays day";
  elseif ($mydays != 0) $mydays2 = "$mydays days";
  if ($myhours == 1) $myhours2 = "$myhours hour";
  elseif ($myhours != 0) $myhours2 = "$myhours hours";
  if ($mymins == 1) $mymins2 = "$mymins minute";
  elseif ($mymins != 0) $mymins2 = "$mymins minutes";
  if ($mysecs == 1) $mysecs2 = "$mysecs second";
  elseif ($mysecs != 0) $mysecs2 = "$mysecs seconds";
  $mytime = "$myweeks2 $mydays2 $myhours2 $mymins2 $mysecs seconds";
  return $mytime;
}


lol KIA.... lol
