Oh, yes, Gerry has provided very useful links.
You could definetly look into using something like:
printf( "%.2f", $x );

I'm not experienced with WSDL but I can see it's in use here :

Subject: [PHP] PHP and SOAP newbie questions
I recently got handed a project that requires me to use PHP to talk to a
WSDL SOAP service. I'm not new to PHP but I am new to SOAP. I have the
basic idea of how SOAP works but still have a few questions I am hoping you
all can answer for me.
Which library would be better to use? NuSOAP or PEAR's SOAP library?
Someone else is writing the WSDLs that I need to access. Does this mean
that I just have to use a SOAP client to access the information or would I
need to make a SOAP server? I guess what I'm asking is what is the
difference between a SOAP client and a SOAP server?
Lastly, do you all know of any good online tutorials I could check out that
google may not suggest?
Thanks!
Jay

Best group member,
Assume that I save data about an object and it has 10.000 observations of
the object stored in a MySQL database. I want calculate the average value of
a column, is it faster done by using PHP on the result array or using the
MySQL function to do that?

MySQL.
You don't have to transfer all 10,000 records to PHP for one thing.

Why not check it?
Try to query for the AVG() and get the result or query for the data
and do a loop in PHP to calculate the AVG. Check the time each
Takes.
My Money is that getting the value from SQL will be faster.

I think calculating directly in MySQL will be faster, since less data will
be "travelling" from MySQL to PHP.
Just my 2ยข.

Hello there,
Is there a way to have include() be case-insensitive?
This would be very handy.
Thx in advanced.

Linux file systems are case sensitive. The include() and require() functions
try to open the file specified. If you enter the wrong case the file system
will return that the file does not exist.

Hi,
this is very stupid because you can have files in a directory named:
PleaSeINCLUDeMe.php
pleaseincludeme.php
and if you do a case insensitive include which one should be included?
The include stuff works insensitive under windows great because the
filesystem does not permit 2 file with the same name in a directory.
The example above is not possible.

If you are know that all your file and directory names are lower case, but
users may input mixed case responses that will be used to determine the
include, you can set the case of the user input to lower case with
strtolower(). Or strtoupper() - the choice is yours.
If you have been a bit careless in naming your directories or filenames,
then I'd do some site maintenance and get that sorted first.

Is there a way to check how much/which variables there are in an class?
Thx in advanced.
--- End Message ---

Try
array get_class_vars ( string class_name)
This will return an array with at least the public variables.

It works, but only for the public indeed.
Is there also a way to get the private/protected variables?

What is the best way to determine if a variable has no value?
if ($var= '')
or
if ($var= 'null')
Can 'null' be used here?

yeah buts its a string which doesn't do what you want.
if (empty($var)) { echo 'yes'; }
or:
if (is_null($var)) { echo 'yes'; }

Depends what you mean by no value. I suggest you read
http://php.net/is_null, http://php.net/empty and http://php.net/isset.

if (!$x){
echo "x is empty";
}
