Ever write a string replace function on a closing ?> //somecomment here like
end junk
I have written some systems and gone back two to three years later and found
myself having to do such. Sloppy, sure. Minimize cost to the client? Oh
yeah.
I keep em, and comment 'em as I feel I should.

I have been asked to further modify the value to the nearest half cent.
So if the 3rd decimal spot ends in 1 or 2, it gets rounded down to 0
If it ends in 3, 4, 5, 6 it gets rounded to 5. And if it 7, 8 or 9 it
gets rounded up to full cents.
Can this be done fairly easily? Not knowing PHP well, I am not aware
of the logic to configure this accordingly.
Thanks,

Hello List.
Probably an easy question, but I am not able to format a number to
round up from 3 numbers after the decimal to just 2.
My code looks like this:
$newprice = "$".number_format($old_price, 2, ".", ",");
and this returns "$0.109" when I am looking for "$0.11".
I tried:
$newprice = "$".round(number_format($old_price, 2, ".", ","),2);
But no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Yes, this can be done, but you'll need to write a function to do it
yourself. I'd also suggest you look into the BCMath functions, at:

The above described rounding algorithm introduces more bias than
simply using PHP's round() function, which always rounds down. IMO,
modifying rounding is not worth the effort.
The "best" rounding algorithm is to look at the last digit and do this:
0 -- no rounding needed.
1-4 round down.
6-9 round up.
In the case of 5, then look
