How can I get INTeger from float

[Randell D.]

Folks,

If I have a number that includes decimal points and I want to remove
everything right of the decimal, how do I do it - I know I could explode
using the point as a delimiter but that doesn't look legal.

I've tried

$t=1.532;
$y=int($t);


but that didn't work out for me...

any ideas?

thanks

Many thanks - I never heard of the function before nor would I have ever
guessed it.

Cheers.

you were close yourself anyway:

$t=1.532;
$y=(int)$t;

should work too
