Subject: [PHP-DB] Currency and number types...
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 17:35:53 +0000

I'm trying to display data calculated by my script as a currency. The problem I have is that PHP is treating the results of the math as a 'float' number (or 'double') so I am getting results like:

12.0594393

in my table. I have tried using:

print round($foobar,2)

but that cuts off the trailing zero on numbers that comne out as, for example '12.10' or '12.00'.

Does anyone know a way to force PHP to print numbers to a set number of significant figures (i.e. 2) and stop the trailing zero suppression?
