Is there a way to use if/else code multiple times for different variables? This is just a example because I don't know how to search for it or if it even exist? Can someone point me in the right direction?
function value(){
if ($value > 999 && $value <= 999999) {
$value = number_format($value / 1000,1) . 'K';
} elseif ($value > 999999) {
$value = number_format($value / 1000000,1) . 'mln';
} else {
$value;
}
}
value($variable1);
value($variable2);
value($variable3);
You need to define a call argument (parameter) in the function declaration. That is the whole point of functions:
<?php
function formatValue($value){
if ($value > 999 && $value <= 999999) {
return number_format($value / 1000,1) . 'K';
} elseif ($value > 999999) {
return number_format($value / 1000000,1) . 'mln';
} else {
return $value;
}
}
$someValue = 8888;
var_dump(formatValue($someValue));
var_dump(formatValue(555555555));
var_dump(formatValue((2*$someValue)+1000000));
var_dump(formatValue(-200));
The output of above code is:
string(4) "8.9K"
string(8) "555.6mln"
string(6) "1.0mln"
int(-200)
The value function has to take one parameter ($value).
Your function should be
function value(&$value){
if ($value > 999 && $value <= 999999) {
$value = number_format($value / 1000,1) . 'K';
} elseif ($value > 999999) {
$value = number_format($value / 1000000,1) . 'mln';
} else {
$value;
}
}
You have to pass $value as a reference since you assign something to it and you want to get it outside the function.
You could also return number_format($value / 1000,1) . 'K'; instead of assigning it to $value.
