I have this number 12455, I want to extract the last two digits like $result = 55 .
I tried :
$order_id = 12455;
$lastTwoNumbers = $order_id[strlen($order_id)-2];
you can use the following code:
$lastTwoNumbers = substr($order_id, -2);
You can use substr() to get the last two chars of that string (use a negative "start" parameter to count from the end):
<?php
$order_id = 12455;
$lastTwoNumbers = (int) substr($order_id, -2);
echo $lastTwoNumbers;
Will return 55. (The result will be of type string, (int) makes sure it will be integer after)

I want to display a large number with a leading zero and a dot after.
The balance i want to display starts with 0.000000000000000000 ( 18 zeros after the dot ). This should be able to go up to 99.00000000000000000.( 17 zeros after the dot ).
I did a lot of trial and error but i just can't seem to get the dot in there. As far as for the zeros i got it working. What i have now is:
$leadingBalance = sprintf("%019d", $balance);
echo $leadingBalance;
This will display the correct balance but i need to place the dot in there. It means that if my balance has 17 or 18 numbers it should place the dot as 0.0000... If the balance has 19 numbers it should place the dot as 00.0000...
Whatever i try, how much i look up i can't figure it out.
For eg:
$n1 = 0;
$n2 = 99;
echo number_format($n1,18)."<br>";
echo number_format($n2,18)."<br>";
See the documentation for number_format: http://php.net/number_format
The functions parameters are:
string number_format ( float $number , int $decimals = 0 , string $dec_point = '.' , string $thousands_sep = ',' )
So use:
number_format(1000000000000000, 2, '.', '');
Which means that you don't use any (= empty string) thousands separator, only a decimal point.
or if you just want padding of 19 zero after decimal point
just use
sprintf("%0.19f",$number);
or else
if u want a number always 20 digit without caring about whole no and decimal value than use str_pad()
eg:
$no = sprintf("%0.2f",100); //100.00
this will convert your no to decimal point with 2 digit after decimal now just pad some digit if require to make it 20 digit long
echo str_pad($no,20,"0"); //100.00(15 zero after this)
this will check no of digit available and pad 0 to make it 20 digit
for more ref:https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_number_format.asp
You are using %019d when you actually wants a float number, try this:
<?php
$format = '%0.19f';
$args = 9;
$result = sprintf ($format, $args);
//$result will be equal to 9.0000000000000000000
?>
<?php
$format = '%0.19f';
$args = 99;
$result = sprintf ($format, $args);
//$result will be equal to 99.0000000000000000000
?>
Edit:
Since it looks like you want your whole number to be equal to 20 digits only, you may try to do some math if number_format doesn't do your job. You can try something like:
<?php
$number = 999;
$number_length = strlen($number);
$format_len = 20 - $number_length;
$format = '%0.'. $format_len .'f';
$result = sprintf($format, $number);
?>
How can I get the first and the last digit of a number? For example 2468, I want to get the number 28. I am able to get the ones in the middle (46) but I can't do the same for the first and last digit.
For the digits in the middle I can do it
$substrmid = substr ($sum,1,-1); //my $sum is 2468
echo $substrmid;
Thank you in advance.
You can get first and last character from string as below:-
$sum = (string)2468; // type casting int to string
echo $sum[0]; // 2
echo $sum[strlen($sum)-1]; // 8
OR
$arr = str_split(2468); // convert string to an array
echo reset($arr); // 2
echo end($arr); // 8
Best way is to use substr described by Mark Baker in his comment,
$sum = 2468; // No need of type casting
echo substr($sum, 0, 1); // 2
echo substr($sum, -1); // 8
You can use substr like this:
<?php
$a = 2468;
echo substr($a, 0, 1).substr($a,-1);
You can also use something like this (without casting).
$num = 2468;
$lastDigit = abs($num % 10); // 8
However, this solution doesn't work for decimal numbers, but if you know that you'll be working with nothing else than integers, it'll work.
The abs bit is there to cover the case of negative integers.
$num = (string)123;
$first = reset($num);
$last = end($num);
I need to split a string in two so I can do a SELECT query in my DB. For example, I have the number '0801'. I need to split that number into '08' and '01'. How do I manage to do that?
This is easy to do using the substr() function, which lets you pull out parts of a string. Given your comment that you always have a four-digit number and want it split into two two-digit numbers, you want this:
$input = "0801";
$left = substr($input, 0, 2);
$right = substr($input, 2);
echo "Left is $left and right is $right\n";
According to your comment
The first 2 numbers. It's allways a 4 digit number and I allways need
to split it in 2 two digit numbers
You can simply use
$value = '0801';
$split = str_split($value, 2);
var_dump($split[0]);
var_dump($split[1]);
Just keep in mind $value variable should always be of a string type, not int.
you can use str_split and list
$str = '0801';
list($first,$second) = str_split($str,2);
echo $first;
// 08
echo $second;
// 01

If you're selecting that number..
SELECT
SUBSTR(colname, 0, 2) as firstpart,
SUBSTR(colname, 2, 2) as secondpart
FROM table
I want to replace 1st and last digit of a number series with *. such as I have
$number = 123435987345735372;
I want to get such as
*535738753957353*
like this?
$number = 123435987345735372;
$new_number = substr($number, 1, -1);
$new_number = "*".$new_number."*";
echo"original number: $number<BR>new number: $new_number";

What would be an elegant way of doing this?
I have this -> "MC0001" This is the input. It always begins with "MC"
The output I'd be aiming with this input is "MC0002".
So I've created a function that's supposed to return "1" after removing "MC000". I'm going to convert this into an integer later on so I could generate "MC0002" which could go up to "MC9999". To do that, I figured I'd need to loop through the string and count the zeros and so on but I think I'd be making a mess that way.
Anybody has a better idea?
This should do the trick:
<?php
$string = 'MC0001';
// extract the part succeeding 'MC':
$number_part = substr($string, 2);
// count the digits for later:
$number_digits = strlen($number_part);
// turn it into a number:
$number = (int) $number_part;
// make the next sequence:
$next = 'MC' . str_pad($number + 1, $number_digits, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
using filter_var might be the best solution.
echo filter_var("MC0001", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT)."\n";
echo filter_var("MC9999", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
will give you
0001
9999
These can be cast to int or just used as they are, as PHP will auto-convert anyway if you use them as numbers.
just use ltrim to remove any leading chars: http://php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php
$str = ltrim($str, 'MC0');
$num = intval($str);
<php
// original number to integer
sscanf( $your_string, 'MC%d', $your_number );
// pad increment to string later on
sprintf( 'MC%04u', $your_number + 1 );
Not sure if there is a better way of parsing a string as an integer when there are leading zero's.
I'd suggest doing the following:
1. Loop through the string ( beginning at location 2 since you don't need the MC part )
2. If you find a number thats bigger than 0, stop, get the substring using your current location and the length of the string minus your current location. Cast to integer, return value.
You can remove the "MC" par by doing a substring operating on the string.
$a = "MC0001";
$a = substr($a, 2); //Lengths of "MC"
$number = intval($a); //1
return intval(str_replace($input, 'MC', ''), 10);
