<snip>My goal is to input the amount of Bytes used by a user as $inputbox and calculate how many kbs,megs,gigs along with $cost for the price per meg.
Questions? 1. Should I be dividing by 1024 or 1000? This was passed to me by word of mouth ... 2. Any way of rounding to 2 or 3 digests after the decimal point. 3. to remove any , from the inputted string.
1) 1024 is more correct, so, use it unless what you're given was (incorrectly) calculated with 1000.
2) round($number, 2) - http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php
3) Use a search and replace (regular expression) to replace commas with empty strings. ereg_replace("," "", $string) - http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php
