Perhaps I'm missing something. Perhaps I'm crazy. But you can use the function below to perform that calculation. Took me just over two hours to write.

function getCents($dollars)
{
$cents = $dollars * 100;
return $cents;
}

If you want to use it for real, it's $29.95 plus tax. I accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Diner's Club.

[code]function getCents($dollars)
{
return $dollars * 100;
}[/code]
