$average = round(($votes/$pts),2); ;) Ryan A wrote:
people vote on a scale of 1-5, so the average should be between 1-5 (right?? am not even sure of this!)
     
Yes.
I was thinking of rounding it with a 2 decimal point...eg: round(5.045, 2) Just need to solve this and them am hitting the sack, any help appreciated.
     
Solve what? I must have missed the problem.
Oops, sorry guys...girlfriends on holiday so have not had my "medicine" :-) and am also braindead right now... basically...how do I get the average? $pic_no_of_votes --- > holds the total number of votes (eg: 212) $vote_total_pts ----> holds the total points from all those votes (eg: 1027) how do i get the average down to something like: 3.23 or 1.02 or 4.11 etc Thanks, Ryan
