You're percentage seems to be off. It is showing 2 when it should be .013, or .01.

Quote:

You have 13 messages stored, of a total 1,000 allowed. : 2%

This works:

Code:

$totalpmpercent = $vbulletin->userinfo['pmtotal'] / $vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['pmquota'];
$pmpercent = vb_number_format($totalpmpercent, 2);

Hi,
It should be 1.3 but as I am using ceil function which returns the next highest value, it displays 2. I will use vb_number_format in next release.

13 divided by 1,000 is not 1.3, it is .013. I did a quota percent for my site a while back and have always used the code I posted. With ceil, it would show as .02. Just trying to help.

No. It is 13 divided by 1000 multiplied by 100.
13 / 1000 * 100 = 1.3

Okay, but that is not the true percentage then. The way I do it doesn't multiply by 100, which is misleading. No offense meant.

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage
Or use:
http://www.csgnetwork.com/csgpercent.html

13 is what percent of 1000? Result: 1.3 %

According to your second link, you are 100% right. It still doesn't look right to me, but I can't argue with it anymore. Sorry for my confusion. And here I thought was good in math in school.

Here's what I came up with using your method:

Code:

$pmpercent = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userinfo['pmtotal'] / $vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['pmquota'] * 100, 2);

Now it is correct.
Also I am thinking using round function.

Boofo · #10 12-18-2010, 01:27 PM

Yes, round would be better. And thanks for catching me on the percentage error. I Have been doing it wrong all along, it seems.
