Hi thanks for replying, is there a way to do this in a function like...

format(value,'.00')

or something? The values are from a recordset..

Many thanks,

BF

Hi

Oops. Sorry. I have no idea why I had the feeling the you asked in the Unix scripting forum.

However the [tt]printf()[/tt] function of C is implemented/replicated in many languages. Including PHP.

I think you probably want its variant, the [tt]sprintf()[/tt] function.

$formatted = sprintf( '%.2f', $value );
