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

a short way (use floor and fmod)

$var = "1.25";
$whole = floor($var);     // 1
$decimal = fmod($var, 1); //0.25

then compare $decimal to 0, .25, .5, or .75

Answer 2

Cast it as an int and subtract

$integer = (int)$your_number;
$decimal = $your_number - $integer;

Or just to get the decimal for comparison

$decimal = $your_number - (int)$your_number

Answer 3

To prevent the extra float decimal (i.e. 50.85 - 50 give 0.850000000852), in my case I just need 2 decimals for money cents.

$n = 50.85;
$whole = intval($n);
$fraction = $n * 100 % 100;

Answer 4

Just to be different :)

list($whole, $decimal) = sscanf(1.5, '%d.%d');

CodePad.

As an added benefit, it will only split where both sides consist of digits.

Answer 5

$x = 1.24

$result = $x - floor($x);

echo $result; // .24

Answer 6

If you can count on it always having 2 decimal places, you can just use a string operation:

$decimal = 1.25;
substr($decimal,-2);  // returns "25" as a string

No idea of performance but for my simple case this was much better...
