Formatting Decimals

[Perad]

I have this line.

 

$form .= "<td>£$price[$i] ex VAT
<br />£".$price[$i]*1.175." inc VAT</td>";

 

this returns

 

£41.95 ex VAT

£49.29125 inc VAT

 

I would like the inc VAT price to become £49.29

 

I have tried

$form .= "<td>£$price[$i] ex VAT<br />£".printf("%.2f", ($price[$i]*1.175))." inc VAT</td>";

 

But this doesn't work, does anyone have any other suggestions?

%01.2f not %.2f

 

See example 2415 at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php

Hi..

        use "number_format" function for this..

       

        string number_format ( float number [, int decimals [, string dec_point, string thousands_sep]] )
