This is a procedure which will convert a decimal number ($decimal) into its corresponding whole number counterpart plus its fractional counterpart.
So, 2.5 would return $whole = 2, $numerator = 1, $denominator = 2. it also returns the 'top heavy' format, so that 2.5 would give $top_heavy = 5/2.
This works for negative decimals too. And for zero, returns 0/1.
It works up to the limit of phps number handling (12 decimal places i think)
