try $total=((0.416 / $time) * 60) * 60); $output=number_format($total,2,'.',','); / / uses comma separators between thousands and a decimal point between the units and tenths. or $output=number_format(((0.416 / $time) * 60) * 60),2,'.',','); / / php is usually forgiving on combined operations.
number_format() truncates the number so if you have 1.209 it will lop of the last number resulting in 1.20. if you want a rounded number use round(). both commands are in the online manual. hope this helps.
