PHP Price Filter

[avera]

Hi Everyone,

So what I'm trying to achieve is this:

I have the following variables:

$minprice = 1.99;
$maxprice = 249.99;
$steps = 5;

And I want to end up with {steps} equal increments of price bands, like this:

Array
(
 [0] => Array
 (
 [0] => 1.99
 [1] => 49
 )
 [1] => Array
 (
 [0] => 50
 [1] => 98
 )
 [2] => Array
 (
 [0] => 99
 [1] => 148
 )
 [3] => Array
 (
 [0] => 149
 [1] => 197
 )
 [4] => Array
 (
 [0] => 198
 [1] => 249.99
 )
)

Any ideas anyone?

Here is an idea that might get you started

$split = 5;
$minprice = 1.49;
$maxprice = 249.99;
$price_split = (ceil($maxprice / $split));
$c=0;
while ($c != $split+1) {
if ($c == 0) {
$minprice = $minprice;
} else {
$minprice = ($minprice + $price_split);
}
if ($minprice > $maxprice) {
$minprice = ($maxprice);
}
print "$minprice<br />";
++$c;
}
