[PHP] Fractions
Is there a way to remove the trailing '0'? Also is there a way to have the original fraction display (1/4), as well as have provision for 1/8 and 3/8 and 1/2, etc. display? Width: 2.250 x Height: 6.250 Ron

On this one I suspect you'd have to write your own function, but maybe someone else knows better.

On this one I suspect you'd have to write your own function, but maybe someone else knows better. yup you need to write your own functions - there was a request to internals a year or two ago, and it was decided that fractions were so easy to implement in userland and so rare that people should just implement them with there own code. not expressly hard echo '1/' . (1/0.25); should be 1/4 i do believe or in this scenario $val = (float)'6.250'; $fract = $val - floor($val); echo '1/' . (1/$fract); the above code really won't do for 3/8's or suchlike though just a quick pointer - from here on your in userland :p -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well how would you do it on paper?
$numerator = 8;
$denominator = 12;
$factor = 1;
//Start at the greater of the 2, and loop down til you find a common
factor
for ($i=max($numerator,$denominator);$i1;$i--) {

Just like math...find the greatest common denominator of the
numerator
and denominator and then divide each (numerator and denominator)
by
that
number...
ie: numerator = 8 and denominator = 12
so we have 8/12
then greatest common denominator is 4...
so 8/4 = 2 and 12/4 = 3
thus, 8/12 = 2/3

I use this to convert a decimal stored in a table.
function Fraction ($width)
{
list ($whole, $numerator) = explode ('.', $width);
$denominator = 1 . str_repeat (0, strlen ($numerator));
$GCD = GCD ($numerator, $denominator);
$numerator /= $GCD;
$denominator /= $GCD;
If ($numerator==0) {
return sprintf ('%d',$whole);
} else {
return sprintf ('%d %d/%d',
$whole, $numerator, $denominator);
}
}
function GCD ($a, $b)
{
while ( $b != 0)
{
$remainder = $a % $b;
$a = $b;
$b = $remainder;
}
return abs ($a);
}
So...
$width = 64.75;
Fraction($width);
Results:
64 3/4
You can add sup/sup and sub/sub for added effect.

Re: [PHP] Fractions
Ok, I got one. It finds the great common divisor. I divide the numerator and denominator by it. Then I do an if statement to see if the numerator is greater then the denominator. If so, I divide them by each other.

That's why I asked how to use fractions... - Original Message - From: Mark Charette To: Stephen ; PHP List Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 1:44 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Fractions Well, seeing as you're in the 7th or 8th grade (at least according to your Website) - my sincere apologies ... Just use 5.0/9.0 in your formula. Mark C. -Original Message- From: Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 1:36 PM To: PHP List Subject: [PHP] Fractions I'm wanting to make a simple PHP script that converts Celsius to Farenheit, Farenheit to Celsius, Farenheit to Kelvin, and Celsius to Kelvin. I have the formula but it requires fractions. How can I use frations in PHP to multiply or divide? If you can't, how could I substitute doing so? 5/9 (F - 32) is the forumla to get Celsius to Farenheit if you need it. Thanks, Stephen Craton http://www.melchior.us Life is a gift from God.
