Re: [PHP] rounding a number
seems to work fine for me. what are your results when you do this? mine are 0.4 and this is what is should be. if it were .349 it would round down. isn't this how it should work?

RE: [PHP] rounding a number
according to the pdf version of the manual I have, round() is what you need float round(float val[, int precision]) have another look that the man page -Original Message- From: Phil Schwarzmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] rounding a number I want to round a number to the nearest decimal place... if the number is 4.623, I want it to display 4.6 if the number is 2.36, I want it to display 2.7 Is there a function that does this? round(), ceil(), floor() don't do this and I've checked through all the math functions in my handy-dandy PHP Functions reference book.

RE: [PHP] rounding a number
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. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php HTH, Jason Soza -Original Message- From: Phil Schwarzmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 7:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] rounding a number I want to round a number to the nearest decimal place... if the number is 4.623, I want it to display 4.6 if the number is 2.36, I want it to display 2.7 Is there a function that does this? round(), ceil(), floor() don't do this and I've checked through all the math functions in my handy-dandy PHP Functions reference book.
