Question

Suppose I have the number “13.57916667” in a variable $hours. This is a calculated hours combining minutes and seconds to hours.

I want the decimals to round up. For example, I want $hours to become 13.6. I can’t seem to find any solution anywhere, even on stackoverflow. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Well, this little snippet should do it:

echo round(13.579, 1);

If you’re looking for a ceil() with precision:

function ceil_with_precision($value, $precision = 0) {
    return ceil($value * pow(10, $precision)) / pow(10, $precision);
}

For a fixed precision of 1 decimal, that would become:

ceil($value * 10 ) / 10;
