Get user level depending on his/her points number PHP - php

Question

I have a user points system which gives users points depending on some actions like selling a product or add new post etc...
I want to make a smarter PHP function to set a level for the user depending on his/her points.
Here's how I make this:
function get_user_level( $user_id ) {
$user_points = 3515 // Here I get the number of points that user have from the database
if ( $user_point >= 3000 ) {
$level = '5';
} elseif ( $user_point >= 2000 ) {
$level = '4';
} elseif ( $user_point >= 1500 ) {
$level = '3';
} elseif ( $user_point >= 1000 ) {
$level = '2';
} elseif ( $user_point >= 500 ) {
$level = '1';
} else {
$level = '0';
}
echo 'Level:' . $level;
}
The problem that my function seems very bad and not smarter I want to develop my function to upgrade user level for each 1000 point the user has (Making unlimited levels automatically).

Answer 1

You mean something like:
if ($user_points < 2000)
{
$level = floor($user_points / 500);
}
else
{
$level = 4 + floor(($user_points-2000)/1000);
}
Which yields level 0-4 for 0-2000 points and then one additional level every 1000 points.

Answer 2

function get_user_level( $user_id ) {
$user_points = 3515; // Here I get the number of points that user have from the database
$level = intval($user_points/1000);
echo $level;
}

Answer 3

You could use a switch statement:
<?php
function get_user_level( $user_point )
{
switch (true) {
case $user_point >= 3000:
return 5;
case $user_point >= 2000:
return 4;
case $user_point >= 1500:
return 3;
case $user_point >= 1000:
return 2;
case $user_point >= 500:
return 1;
default:
return 0;
}
}
echo get_user_level(3515); // outputs 5
