[PHP] Percentages

[Tim Thorburn]

Hi,

Working on a site that needs some billing information.  Once upon a time 
done in ASP where we had the option to use the FormatPercent command - is 
there an equivalent command within PHP?

Using PHP 3.0.16

Couldn't you just use number_format() and stick a % sign in there
yourself?

Stab in the dark as I dunno exactly what FormatPercent does - 
number_format, printf or sprintf.

Takes a decimal number and formats it as a percentage.

How 'bout using this hack:

function formatPercent ($decimal, $round = 2) {
return round($decimal*100, $round).'%';
}
