[SOLVED] Getting a percentage

[timmah1]

I'm trying to get 10% of a number.

 

I am doing this

$number = $row1['total'] * .10;

 

But, the number is showing a decimal

 

If I have the number 328,194.00

10% is this 32,819.40

it is showing me 32819.4

 

but I only need it to show  3281940

 

How do I do I get the decimal out of the percentage?

 

Thanks in advance

Look at the function number_format()

10% of 328,194.00 would be 32,819.4, not 3,281,940.00 so I am confused about what you want.

 

You can use the function round() to round the number or floor() to truncate at the decimal. Or even number_format() to change the number of decimals returned:

i was trying to show two points past the decimal

so instead of seeing 32,819.4, i would see 32,819.40

 

but i'm just going to eliminate that and round it

 

thanks for your help

That can keep two decimals after the number, if you're still interested in retaining the decimals.
