How to round up a number to nearest 10?

floor() will go down.

ceil() will go up.

round() will go to nearest by default.

Divide by 10, do the ceil, then multiply by 10 to reduce the significant digits.

$number = ceil($input / 10) * 10;

Edit: I've been doing it this way for so long.. but TallGreenTree's answer is cleaner.

round($number, -1);

This will round $number to the nearest 10. You can also pass a third variable if necessary to change the rounding mode.

I was actually searching for a function that could round to the nearest variable, and this page kept coming up in my searches. So when I finally ended up writing the function myself, I thought I would post it here for others to find.

The function will round to the nearest variable:

function roundToTheNearestAnything($value, $roundTo)
{
    $mod = $value%$roundTo;
    return $value+($mod<($roundTo/2)?-$mod:$roundTo-$mod);
}

This code:

echo roundToTheNearestAnything(1234, 10).'<br>';
echo roundToTheNearestAnything(1234, 5).'<br>';
echo roundToTheNearestAnything(1234, 15).'<br>';
echo roundToTheNearestAnything(1234, 167).'<br>';

Will output:

1230
1235
1230
1169

There are many anwers in this question, probably all will give you the answer you are looking for. But as @TallGreenTree mentions, there is a function for this.

But the problem of the answer of @TallGreenTree is that it doesn't round up, it rounds to the nearest 10. To solve this, add +5 to your number in order to round up. If you want to round down, do -5.

So in code:

round($num + 5, -1);

You can't use the round mode for rounding up, because that only rounds up fractions and not whole numbers.

If you want to round up to the nearest 100, you shoud use +50.
