Can somone guide me in the right direction I have tried to search google and just can't seem to find anything. thanks in advance for the guidance

This should do it:

 

<?php
echo substr("Hello world!",4); //replace Hello World with your variable
?>

Take a look at the function number_format(). You can also used sprintf().

thanks for the help everyone  this was the solution i used thanks for the guidance

 

$result = 54.89 * .07;


echo number_format ("$result", 2);

You don't have to surround the variable $result with double quotes. This works just as well:

<?php
echo number_format($result,2);
?>
