[SOLVED] edit a string

[jonaHill87]

Hi all, I just need a bit of help trying to edit a string. I have random values that I'm pulling out of a database. The values are numbers with decimal points. For example 23.8604 or 345.7772. I just want all of the numbers before the decimal place and the two numbers after. So instead of 345.7772, I want to display 345.77. I'm not sure what string functions I can use to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

number_format($string,2);

number_format() will do it, but another approach would be using the way more powerfull sprintf():

 

<?php
$nr = 1524.57422;
echo sprintf('%.2f', $nr);
?>
