1.0 Year to 12 Months

I have written the below code that may be having issues so want to correct it.

        $yearwithdecimal = "1.2";
        $yearwithdecimal = (float)$yearwithdecimal;
        if (is_float($yearwithdecimal)) {
            $yearsArray = explode(".",$yearwithdecimal);
            $year_months = $yearsArray[0]*12;
            $more_months = $yearsArray[1];
            $total_months = $year_months + $more_months;
        }else{
            $total_months = $yearwithdecimal*12;
        }
        echo $total_months; die;
        // Output is 14

Thanks in Advance!

>Solution :

Suppose your field the first part represents num of years and the second part represents num of months.

Take the field as a string, then explode it by .

$yearwithdecimal = "1.2";
$months = 0;
if($yearwithdecimal){
    $parts = explode('.', $yearwithdecimal);
    $months = $parts[0]*12 + $parts[1] ?? 0;
}
echo $months;
