PHP: Check whether an integer is in a certain interval or not
Since PHP 5.2 there are filter_var() functions with considerable set of options available.
One of them lets you check for number being in a range:
$param = 10;$result = filter_var( $param, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, [ 'options' => [ 'min_range' => 20, 'max_range' => 40 ]]);var_dump( $result ); // will return FALSE for 10
You should consider adding some constraints on your entity from the validation component of Symfony2.
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;class Achievement{ /** * @Assert\Range(min=0, max=100) */ protected progress;}The validator service is called automatically when for example validating forms, but you can even call it manually by getting the validator service, for example in your controller.
$achievement = new Achievement();$errors = $this->get('validator')->validate($achievement);
You can use the Range constraint:
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Range;class Achievement{ /** * @Range(min=0, max=100) */ private $progress;}Validation in Symfony is handled by a separate layer, so you should not do it in setters.
