jester626 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 This is probably pretty simple but I can't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for. I am pulling a couple of numbers from a database (productcost and productprice). I am trying to subtract the cost from the price to calculate the profit of the item. I have this part working with no problem. My problem lies when the final number has a trailing zero it will drop that number (i.e. 1.2 as opposed to 1.20) Here is what I am using: $profit = $row_viewcoils['ProductPrice'] - $row_viewcoils['ProductCost']; echo $profit; Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69925-add-trailing-zero-to-calculation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
