I think what you're looking for is number_format() - you can set decimal places with it and used in combo with round(), ceil(), and/or floor(), you should be able to achieved the desired result.

Thanks for your help!!! Or......if it's too hard to do that, I could just use a function that chops off the end of some decimals, like... if the number is 2.343234, I want just 2.3 or if the number is 2.545434534534534534, I want just 2.5 Thanks!!!!!! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
