Formatting Numbers?

[chris57828]

Hi,

 

This is a really easy one but for the life of me I cannot fathom it out.

 

All I want to do is format numbers to have a decimal point in the right place.

 

For I example I want the number 9550 to be formatted as 95.50 or 1250 as 12.50 or 10000 as 100.00

 

I search google using  'formatting to two decimal places' but in the case of the first example all I get returned is formatting numbers such as 9500 to 9500.00 which I don't want.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated

 

Regards,

 

Chris.

You need to divide the numbers by 100 to move the decimal place by 2. Then you can use number format.

$number = 9550;
echo number_format($number / 100, 2, '.', ',');
