using explode

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if I can write this cleaner?
$weightExplode = explode(".", $totalWeight);
$explodetest = ".";
$explodetest .= $weightExplode[1];
$explodetest = $explodetest*16;


I'm hoping I've missed something... Basically I just need to include
the "." in $weightExplode[1] before I multiply it by 16. That's the
only part that is confusing me right now...

Any ideas?

I can't write it cleaner, though I can write it shorter:

$weightExplode = explode('.', $totalWeight);
$explodetest = ((float)('.' . $weightExplode[1])) * 16;

(the (float) casting is maybe not required, but I think it's good practice)

$explodetest = ($totalWeight - intval($totalWeight)) * 16;

Untested but should have the same effect as your code.
