Not quite. They don't round, they truncate:
round floor ceil
10.0 10 10 10
10.2 10 10 11
10.7 11 10 11
Now Craig said:
: I have an number that needs to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
but looking again at the variable name ($archives_needed) in his
example, I suspect that he may instead want ceil after all. For
example, to calculate how many CDs you'd need to store a given amount
of data, you'd do it like:
$nCDs = ceil( $numberOfBytes / $bytesPerCD );
Is that what you're after, Craig?
