    This script adds some basic math functions to php allowing you to get percentages, ratios and other fraction based functions.

    Background



    I created this because I had a need for some math functions that php does not provide. I also made them for my math class to save on time from having to do the fraction conversions myself or to figure grade percents.

    The Code



    These functions will help with some math related tasks. The greaterThanBy() and lessThanBy will return true, false, or NaN. They were made so you can check if a guessed number is higher or lower by a certain amount set by you. The ratio() function is for those who would make a rpg system or getting your kill to death ratio in a MMO or call of duty. I've included turning a percent into a decimal, improper fraction into mixed number, mixed number into improper fraction with decimal value optional, if a number is between two numbers, and percentage of.

    PHP:
    <?php
    $NaN 
    "NaN";
    //checks if a number is greater than another number by a certain amount
    function greaterThanBy($origNum,$testNum,$diff)
    {
    //define globals
        
    global $NaN;
        
    //check if all values are a number and if not return NaN
        
    if(!is_numeric($origNum) && !is_numeric($testNum) && !is_numeric($diff))
        {
    //not numeric return error
            
    return $NaN;        
        }
        else
        {
    // values are numeric return boolean
            
    if($origNum $testNum || $origNum == $testNum)
            {
    // original number is higher then the guessed number return false
                
    return false;
            }
            else
            {
    //perfect conditions have been met set variable with value of difference of the two numbers            
                
    $difference $testNum $origNum;    
                if(
