i still have some problems on typecasting my float-variable to a string
variable.
i used something like this:
$n = $row["Points"];
settype($n,"string");
but the zeros are still there - as if $n is still handled as a float
number not a string.
with $n = 1.90 it's converted to 1.9 without problems

Hallo,
i was wondering if there is a built-in function in php that just cuts
off not needed zeros from float-numbers (like changing "1.90" to "1.9"
or "10.00" to "10").
I get this numbers from a mysql-database, perhaps there even is a
mysql-function for this???
thank you very much,
Thomas Murphy
