page integer problem

[rtswimmer]

Basically ive written code that looks in a directory and lists all the jpeg files.
I have 13 files however i only want 12 to a page.

Code: Select all

 $pages = $files / 12;

So i want it to set $pages = 2
But it sets $pages = 1.08333333333. which is correct but i want the next integer.

So ive tried

Code: Select all

 $pages = (int) ($no / 12);

but that just sets $pages = 1



can anyone help me to find the next integer?

Hello,

Use ceil() to round a number up.

ceil($pages)

Cheers,
Jim.
