Here goes the worst ever php code posted to this newsgroup .

But hang loose as somebody will be along shortly with a one line
solution :-)


<?php

$demo=12.34;

print "demo = $demo <br><br>";

$daffyduck=strlen($demo);
print "daffyduck = $daffyduck <br><br>";

$mickymouse=substr($demo,$daffyduck-3,1);
print "mickymouse = $mickymouse <br><br>";

if ($mickymouse==".")
{

$snowwhite=substr($demo,0,$daffyduck-1);
print "snowwhite = $snowwhite <br><br>";

$dwarfs=substr($demo,$daffyduck-1,1);
print "dwarfs = $dwarfs <br><br>";

if ($dwarfs==0) {$poop=0;}
if ($dwarfs==1) {$poop=0;}
if ($dwarfs==2) {$poop=0;}
if ($dwarfs==3) {$poop=5;}
if ($dwarfs==4) {$poop=5;}
if ($dwarfs==5) {$poop=5;}
if ($dwarfs==6) {$poop=5;}
if ($dwarfs==7) {$poop=0;}
if ($dwarfs==8) {$poop=0;}
if ($dwarfs==9) {$poop=0;}

$albundy=$snowwhite . $poop;
print "albundy = $albundy <br><br>";

}

?>
