php round to the next whole number

Question

In PHP, I need to round off a number to the next whole number. For example, in my program, I am using the round as below.

$val = round(count($names)/15);


        

Answer 1

How about using ceil()

Then your code becomes:

$val = ceil(count($names)/15);

Answer 2

Try This:

$val = round(count($names)/15, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN) + 1;
