No Floating Numbers After Division

[mobone]

I need the win to loss ratio, but its not returning anything after the decimal. I'm sure its an easy solution but I can't seem to figure it out.Battles won and battles lost are both integers.

	settype($battles_won, "float");	settype($battles_lost, "float");	settype($winloss, "float");		$winloss = $battles_lost/$battles_won;

I've tried rounding the division also.

I think php refers to them as doubles and not floats, as JavaScript does.

Settype syntax:"float" (only possible since PHP 4.2.0, for older versions use the deprecated variant "double")And I'm using php 5, thanks though!

Have you printed out the variables to see what values they contain? Are you sure they're even floats?

The variables are not floats, they're ints, but I thought the settype would change them to floats.

I'd use the floatval() function:

$winloss = floatval($battles_lost)/floatval($battles_won);

It will, but they're still going to have their integer values. Converting an int to a float is going to result in the same value. If you convert 8 to a float, you'll get 8.0.

var_dump($battles_lost);var_dump($battles_won);$winloss = $battles_lost/$battles_won;var_dump($winloss);

doh! my mysql variable was an int. Wouldn't of happened if I wasn't using phpmyadmin...
