Another Question

I have another stupid question, lol, if you have a number that's one decimal place how do you add a 0 after it. For example how do you determine if variable $number (say $number = 19.5 ) has one decimal place and make it add a 0 after it to make $number = 19.50. (lol, there is an actual reason for this) Though I also have the same question for the reverse, say $number = 19.539 how would I be able to make $number = 19.54?

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

You may also want to look at ceil, floor, and str_pad.

 

All of those worked great, but for some reason I still have a problem when a price is $10.50 it shows it as $10.5, if it's $7.00 it shows it as $7. I need the extra zeros, how do I do this is there is only one or less digits after the decimal?

 

You should use the money_format() function. It's purpose is to do what you want to do. You might also look at number_format().

 

Use sprintf:

<?= sprintf("%.02f", $number) ?>

J.D.

 

Number format returns a string.

Sprintf type casts it as a float that you can still do math with.

 

Just as kc3 says, number_format won't format 10.5 as 10.50.

J.D.

 

Thank you for all of your help.
