Drop decimal places without rounding

[dyedblue]

I am currently use the number_format PHP function but I do not want it to round my number at 2 decimal places. I need it to cut off all numbers past 2 decimal places with no rounding. I have searched hard for other functions that might work such as Round but had no luck making it work. Could someone please help me?

Current Code:

$amtr1 = 3,750.945; 
$amt1 = number_format($amtr1, 2, '.', ',');

$amt1 comes out as "3,750.95 I need $amt1 to come out as "3,750.94" instead.

Thanks in advance

<?php
$amtr1 = 3,750.945;
$last = $amtr1{strlen($amtr1)-1};
$amtr = rtrim($amtr1, "$last");
print "$amtr";
?>

There's probably a simpler/quicker solution using ereg_replace though.

Its not very nice , but this should do what you want:

function cut_off($number){
$parts=explode(".",$number);
$newnumber=$parts[0]. "." . $parts[1][0] . $parts[1][1];
return $newnumber;
}

Just pass it the variable containing the number you wish to cutoff.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

This one might be a little nicer:

$newnumber=substr($number,0,(strpos($number,".")+1)+2);

And J1mbo, your's only works if there are exactly 3 decimal places what happens if there are only 2 or 5.

Here's my preg_replace solution:

$amtr1 = "3,750.945";
$amtr1 = preg_replace('/([\d,]+.\d{2})\d/', '$1', $amtr1);
print "$amtr1";

 

[J1mbo]

This one handles whatever number of numbers occur after the decimal:

$amtr1 = "3,750.94545645";
$amtr1 = preg_replace('/([\d,]+.\d{2})\d+/', '$1', $amtr1);
print "$amtr1";
