Need some help with arithmetic in PHP (and some javascript)

Hi!

I'm making a time laps calculator based off of the equation found http://americandslr.com/2010/10/time-lapse-calculator/ there. I'm completely done with the functional part of it. Now I need to worry about the aesthetic part of it.

Here is the code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['filming'])) $hour = $_POST['filming'];
if (isset($_POST['framerate'])) $framerate = $_POST['framerate'];
if (isset($_POST['dtrt'])) $dtrt = $_POST['dtrt'];
$half = $hour * 3600;

$halftwo = $framerate * $dtrt;

$answer = $half / $halftwo;


?>

    <p class="help-block">How long do you want the time lapse to last? <u>IN SECONDS</u></p>
  </div>

</form>

<h2><center><strong><?php echo $answer . "  seconds between picture" ?></center></strong></h2>

</div>


  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

(yes i'm using bootstrap)

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like before and after you submit:

Before submission:

After submission:

1. how do I make it round to the nearest tenth? When I used "round($answer, 1);" it crashed my script.

2. How can I make the "seconds between picture" only appear after you press submit?

Thanks, I'm a noob.

you can use :

round($answer, 2); // will give you , example: 4.72
