RE: [PHP-DB] Currency and number types...
number_format() is what you need look it up bastien From: Mark Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Currency and number types... Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 17:35:53 + I'm trying to display data calculated by my script as a currency. The problem I have is that PHP is treating the results of the math as a 'float' number (or 'double') so I am getting results like: 12.0594393 in my table. I have tried using: print round($foobar,2) but that cuts off the trailing zero on numbers that comne out as, for example '12.10' or '12.00'. Does anyone know a way to force PHP to print numbers to a set number of significant figures (i.e. 2) and stop the trailing zero suppression? -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP-DB] Currency and number types...
You might try this: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.money-format.php Money_format() In your database query, you can probably format the number how you want there too... Before you even get to PHP and round()ing it inside PHP. But do your math and using the money_format() function to display it should work just fine I think. -TG > -Original Message- > From: Mark Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 12:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP-DB] Currency and number types... > > > I'm trying to display data calculated by my script as a > currency.
