Limit a PHP variable (number) to 100

Question

I have a PHP function which returns a number, and I want to display it as a percentage from 1 - 100. Anything over 100 should just be reevaluated to 100. How can I do that?

$myvar = 120;
$my_percentage = <$myvar, max value is 100>

I'm using Laravel, if that helps. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is the simplest way for restricting the number

$my_percentage = min(100, $myvar); 

Answer 2

If you want to ensure the value is always less than or equal to 100, then take the minimum (using min()) of the value and 100...

$my_percentage = min(100, $myvar);
