Format number to not have decimals

Lets say the variable $number holds a decimal like 16.66677666777

How would I make it echo $number and just say 16 rather than 16.66677666777?

Just use inval function

 $number = 16.66677666777;
 echo intval($number); //16

you could also use floor()

echo floor(16.66677666777);

You could cast it to an integer:

echo (int) $number;

or using intval:

echo intval($number);

Or you could use the mathematic function floor to round the number down.

echo floor($number);

This function keep the variable type float.

Here you'll find a small example: http://codepad.org/4um8gJSi

This will suffice.

<?php
$number=16.66677666777;
echo (int)$number; //16
