Divide integer and get integer value
use round() function to get integer rounded value.
round(8 / 3); // 3
or
Use floor() function to get integer value
floor(8 / 3); // 2
In PHP 7, there is intdiv function doing exactly what you want.
Usage:
intdiv(8, 3);
Returns 2.
There is no integer division operator in PHP. 1/2 yields the float 0.5. The value can be casted to an integer to round it downwards, or the round() function provides finer control over rounding.
var_dump(25/7); // float(3.5714285714286)
var_dump((int) (25/7)); // int(3)
var_dump(round(25/7)); // float(4)
