php function to check if number is divisible by 0 - php

Question

I have checked a bunch of posts on stackoverflow and on articles on google but none of them were able to answer my question. Here is my code (i've simplified it instead of posting my code)
$first = 10;
$second = 0; //comes from db row count
$total = !is_int($first/$second) ? 0 : $first/$second;
problem is when i do this I keep getting the Division by zero error. I have a bunch and $second isnt always 0, it can be any number. But it does come out to 0 since the row counts for whatever query it comes out as 0. Is there a safe way of checking to see if $first can be divided by $second without giving an error? I have tried # before the !is_int and that just breaks all other statements.

Answer 1

Try this:
$total = ($second == 0) ? 0 : $first / $second;

Answer 2

You can't divide by 0 it is undefined. If you want to handle division by 0 just check if the divisor isn't equals to 0. Or a safer way, chack if it is a positive integer:
$first = 10;
$dbRowCount = dbFunction();
if ($dbRowCount > 0) {
$total = $first / $dbRowCount;
} else {
//Error handling
}

Answer 3

The ternary structure can accept more than one condition. and it will work just as any other if condition, and won't try the second condition if the first fails.
So, just add it
$total = ($first!==0 && $second!==0 && !is_int($first/$second)) ? 0 : $first/$second;

Answer 4

You might want to try checking if your $Second variable is 0.
Something like:
$First = 10;
$Second = $row['table_column'];
if ($Second == 0) {
echo "Oops this will be an error";
}
else
$First/$second = $me;
