[SOLVED] Need a placeholder

[quillspirit]

Ok, so I have variable

 

$x = "123.395";

 

I use

 

$x = round($x, 2);

and come up with:

 

123.4

All is fine up to this point, except what I need to do is show that as a dollar value (for shopping cart)... so I want to show the missing placeholder 0 for 1/100ths.

 

I don't want a comma for 1,000.00  and do not want a $ sign to display... so I don't think money_format() is what I need.

 

The end result for $x needs to be:

123.40

 

Thanks.

number_format() you need ok

I forgot to mention... sometimes $x is already fine at 123.45

<?php

$x = "123.395";

$x = round($x, 2);

$x=number_format($x,2);

echo $x;

?>

Excellent - shoulda known it would be that simple. It usually is.

Problem... it is inserting commas for thousands - 123,456,789.00

breaking my calculations.

Anyone?

Took me a while, but now this is solved: To remove the separator commas from the output, if $x > 999 (so you can continue using $x for calculations):

 

 

 

$x=number_format($x, 2, '.', '');
