[SOLVED] How can I force .800 to show instead of just .8 ?

[blurredvision]

I have a listing of percentages, and the calculation is a simple divide this number by that number.  However, I want to return the decimal plus 3 digits afterwards, for example, I'd want it to show (without the quote of course) ".800".  Instead, it shows ".8".  Is there a simple way to have it show 0's on the end of these decimal numbers?

Take a look at the number_format() function

This will do what you need

round($var, 3);

number_format($var, 3);

 

Will display the 0 too tho.

Round should be better (obviously as it rounds it up to the nearest thousandth in this case).
