[SOLVED] Displaying zeros in echo

[horsetags]

Hi,

I have a simple include with a price list -

 

$AZ2L=41.0;

 

and i echo this on the page

 

 

<?php echo($AZ2L); ?>

 

But the result is -

 

41

 

and i would like

 

41.00

 

Being a bit of a beginner, i expect this is simple, but I am not sure how to do this.

 

 

If anyone can help that would be great.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Paul

Try something along the lines of number_format.

When you assign the variable a value use quotes .

 

<?php

 

$AZ2L = "41.00";

echo($AZ2L);

 

?>

 

that will output the result you want.

<?php

echo number_format($AZ2L, 2, '.', '');

?>
