A way to bound a integer between two values is:
function bound($x, $min, $max)
{
return min(max($x, $min), $max);
}
which is the same as:
$tmp = $x;
if($tmp < $min)
{
$tmp = $min;
}
if($tmp > $max)
{
$tmp = $max;
}
$y = $tmp;
So if you wanted to bound an integer between 1 and 12 for example:
Input:
$x = 0;
echo bound(0, 1, 12).'<br />';
$x = 1;
echo bound($x, 1, 12).'<br />';
$x = 6;
echo bound($x, 1, 12).'<br />';
$x = 12;
echo bound($x, 1, 12).'<br />';
$x = 13;
echo bound($x, 1, 12).'<br />';
Output:
1
1
6
12
12
