PHP - Percent

Hi,

Example:

echo percent(5, 10, 2)."%";
gives you 50%

Instead of this representation, I want to use a bar like this:


So what ever percentage it is, it will show on the bar. (out of 100%)

anyone help me achieve this please?

Thanks

Code: [Select]
function percent($sub, $total, $dec) {
if ($sub) {
$perc = $sub / $total * 100;
$perc = round($perc, $dec);
return $perc;
}
else return 0;
}

Stupid Question, and it might even be as simple as adding a zero, but I cannot figure it out.

$prob = number_format(mt_rand(1,100)/100, 2) ;

$q = $db->query("SELECT * FROM rpg_monsters
                WHERE monster_zone = 1 AND chance >= $prob
                ORDER BY chance,rand()
                LIMIT 1");

    As you can see this works out perfectly.  But only one issue. I want that 0.05 to be in the thousandths of percent: 0.005%. So it's a higher probability.   But if I change it to 0.005, it never shows, even with iterations over 5000 in a for loop? I feel like I need to do something with my mt_rand? I need to simply move a decimal over someplace, but not sure where.

Hi. I am brand new here...

I have a script where I'm trying to parse an email and everything is working fine but it looks like the percent sign (%) is getting stripped out of my message.

The percent sign is in the subject message and it gets removed and I also can't use it in any other strings in the script.

I've tried just adding a slash in front like \% but that didn't fix it.

Is there another way to escape a percent sign when using it in a script?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
