Did you output the variable? Heh

[interpim]

try this on a test page to begin with

<?php
$variable = 5;
sprintf("%10,2f", $variable);
?>

 

it should spit out 5.00 on the page

That code will not print anything, since the sprintf() function returns a string. If you want to output it do either

<?php
$variable = 5;
echo sprintf("%10,2f", $variable);
?>

or

<?php
$variable = 5;
printf("%10,2f", $variable);
?>
