Question

If my formatted string is:

$range = '0|500|0.50';

How can I search if number (200) exists in range between 0 and 500?

Here is what I tried, if there is better idea tell me please

Exploding the range first?

$arr = explode('|', $range);
$min = min($arr);
$max = max($arr);

But I do not know how to progress from there? I even do not know how to exlcude the 3rd parameter from range 0.50 in this case. Can anyone give me a starting point? I basically want to run search for numbers against range (formatted that way with | delimiter)

Thanks!

Use array_pop() function to remove last element from array.

$arr = explode('|', $range);
$arr = array_pop($arr);
$min = min($arr);
$max = max($arr);

Then compare with min and max values…
