Health - Feel better, live better > http://health.yahoo.com Its kind of a long way of doing it but try tokenizing the whole String 1550 hence returning and array containing {1, 5, 5, 0} I believe the php method associated with this is: token_get_all(myString); You can recreate a String using the last two array elements.. $decimals = "".arrayReturned[$lasPosition-1]."".array[$lastPosition]; $foreFront = theOtherArrayElementsConcatenatedToFormAString; $myResult = "\$$foreFront$decimals"; Sorry that's the quickest way I could think of... There are obviously less time consuming algorithms but my brains not in thought mode this afternoon... Good luck... Spike...
