# Floor

Floor -- round fractions down

## Description

`int floor`(float number);

Returns the next lowest integer value from `number`. Using floor() on integers is absolutely a waste of time.

NOTE: PHP/FI 2's floor() returned a float. Use: `$new = (double)floor($number);` to get the old behaviour.

See also ceil() and round().
