casting from double to int

[keak]

Hi there,
Say I have something like
$skip = $count / 16
where $count is some random number.

How would I cast the result into an int ?
I tried
$skip = int ($count / 16) but it is not giving me the expected result

Then I guess I'd be asking 'what IS your expected result ?'

int() truncates towards 0.... so (1.9) = 1, int(-1.9) = -1

try using 'sprintf'...

$nIntValue = sprintf("%d", $fDoubleValue);

Give some sample data and what you expect and what you are getting that you don't expect. Then maybe someone can post a suggestion or two.
