Limit a PHP variable (number) to 100

I have a PHP function which returns a number, and I want to display it as a percentage from 1 - 100. Anything over 100 should just be reevaluated to 100. How can I do that? 

$myvar = 120;
$my_percentage = <$myvar, max value is 100>

I'm using Laravel, if that helps. Thanks!

This is the simplest way for restricting the number

$my_percentage = min(100, $myvar);

If you want to ensure the value is always less than or equal to 100, then take the minimum (using min()) of the value and 100...

$my_percentage = min(100, $myvar);

The simplest would be to just use a ternary operator.

$myvar = 120;
$my_percentage = $myvar > 100 ? 100 : $myvar;

So that in case $myvar is bigger than 100 it will just assign 100 to $my_percentage.

There is a few ways todo this, just quick without context this is my first thought. 

$my_precentage = ($myvar < 100) ? $myvar : 100;
