Problem with MySQL and 0

[Reap38]

O have a value of coin base system and the user may have 73020 coins 
now the data base reads out the 73020 coins no problem but 
the php is not reading the last 0 because its a null or empty or something and its just not liking the 0 at the end of the string

so lets say 
$mycoins = $row['mycoins'];
and this echos out 73020

what this 73020 is really saying is this
once its all converted out correctly

$73.02%0

So what I thought I needed to do was count the string first to get all the numbers and place if count == 5 I could do the row statement for the ten dollar section or if count == 6 i could so that row for the hundreds and so on.

but i can not solve the 0 issue 

so lets write a simple code 


 

 

<code> 
$mycoins = '73020';

$count_mycoins_string = strlen($mycoins);
echo $count_mycoins_string;

I would think the result would be 5
but it counts 4 because the last number of the string is 0 how can i fix that?

It would be nice if you could share what you discovered, since I know that there's something else going on besides PHP "not liking" that zero...
