[RESOLVED] round ()

[Supplement]

if i have a sql statement like so:

SELECT quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds,
quantity /
SUM(duration_minutes + duration_seconds) as total
From process_data
GROUP BY quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds

The output comes back as 1.6, how do i just round to two using the math round function?

Thanks in advance.

echo round($value); 

...should be sufficient

Thanks NogDog,

That worked well, although it's outputting to the nearest decimal but i need it to output to the nearest whole number. I created a new variable $total...

Here's what i got:

<?php 

$total = sql::query("SELECT 

quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds,
quantity /
SUM(duration_minutes + duration_seconds) as total
From process_data
GROUP BY quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds")
?>


<?php echo ROUND($total); ?>

total is 1.688

I would like the result to be "2"
but rather it's giving me "17"

More help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought the syntax was something like:

ROUND ('$total',00.00) right after the SELECT?

[NogDog]

Well, $total is probably a resource ID at that point, not the value of that column in the result record. You probably need to use the applicable "fetch" method for whichever database extension you're using. If you want the SQL to round it for you, the specifics may depend on which flavor of DBMS you are using -- with MySQL it should be something like:

ROUND(SUM(duration_minutes + duration_seconds)) as total

I'm stuck.

[Supplement]

you're right.

when i:

<?php echo print($total_duration);?>

it returned Resource id #211

=/


<?php

$total_duration = sql::query("SELECT

quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds,
quantity /
SUM(duration_minutes + duration_seconds) as total_duration
From process_data
GROUP BY quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds");

?>

<?php echo print($total_duration);?>

I figured it out.

<?php 

$results = sql::clean_row("
SELECT
quantity,duration_minutes,
duration_seconds
From event.dbo.process_data");
echo $results['duration_minutes'] . " " . $results['duration_seconds'] . " " . $results['quantity'] . "<br />";
$total_duration =(($results['duration_minutes'] * 60 + $results['duration_seconds'])/60) / $results['quantity'];
//echo round($total_duration, 1.0) . "<br />";




echo ROUND($total_duration);
?>

Thanks for the help NogDog.
