Force a Number to have 2 Decimals

[Hartley]

I have a query, and one of the results is a number that I want to forcefully have rounded to 2 decimal places. I couldn't find a good search query to find this if it's been asked before How can I achieve it, so it's like 1.00 or 187.25

Uhm, not to be rude but you couldn't find this in search? A search for decimals turned up a few related posts.

Google "php dollar format", then click on "I'm feeling lucky"

 

function dollar_format($amount) {
  $new_amount = "\$".sprintf("%.2f",$amount);
  return $new_amount;
}

 

That will work.

<?php
$value = 19.11;
if(preg_match("/^\d{1,3}(,?\d{3})*(\.\d{2})?$/",$value)){
echo "Right";
}else{
echo "Wrong";
}
?>

function force_to_decimals($number) {

     $a = explode(",", $number);

     $result = false;

     if(strlen($a[1] == 2) {

         $result = true;

     }

     else $result = false;

 

return $result;

}
