percentage code is way off on large boards

[Boofo]

Can anyone plaese tell me what I am doing wrong in the following code that would cause larger boards with high post and thread counts to display these percentages really far off?

PHP Code:

$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100, 2) . '%';

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format(($topstarter['count'] / $getthreadviews['count']) * 100, 2) . '%'; 


On my smaller board they are very accurate. But on a larger board they seem to be showing up like the following:

15,300 Posts (15,300.00%)

I have tried different variations of this and they all turn out the same.

Don't know if this'll work or not, but try dividing by a hundred (or 10 or 1000):

PHP Code:

if($stats['activepercent'] > 100)
{
$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100 / 1000, 2 ) . '%'; 
}
else
{
 $statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100, 2) . '%';
}

Thanks. Steve. I'll have someone with a large board test this and get back to you here with the results.

Steve, do you know how to take the last 2 zeros after the decimal point off on a whole percent? Like if it is 50.00%, how would you make it so it showed up as 50%, but ONLY on whole percentages? If it is like 50.05%, I want that to show up.

you could round it

[Boofo]

But that wouldn't leave it if it was 50.05%, would it?

[AN-net]

you could creat some kind if statement

[Boofo]

Any examples?

{
     // intval returns an integer value
     $percentage = intval($percentage);
}

// echo it out, you'll see that if $lasttwo == 00, it returns an int
echo $percentage; 


There's probably an infinitely more simple method of doing it, lol - but it works.

As long as it works, that's all that really counts. Thank you, sir.

Would you have any ideas on the percentage problems for bigger boards? )

EDIT: How would I incorporate this with this code?

PHP Code:

if($stats['activepercent'] > 100) 
{ 
$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100 / 1000, 2 ) . '%'; 
} 
else 
{ 
$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100, 2) . '%'; 
}
