Limit decimal place . . . 1

[youthman]

Ok, all guru's . . . Yet ANOTHER Dumb question from the Youthman!!!! I need to limit the number of decimal places that a particular set of equations returns. (Like a dollar amount!)

Anyone with any bright ideas? I know that it should be rather mundain, but yet, I still cannot figure this out.

Please, No flames for my ignorance!

The youthman!

Take a look at the sprintf function for rounding. The below example rounds to 2 decimal places.

$rounded_num = sprintf("%.2f", $long_num);
