RE: [PHP] decimal places

$amount = 17.9; $dollars = "$" . number_format($amount, 2); echo "$dollars"; you should see $17.90.

I have something that returns data, but the problem is it's stored where any trailing zero isn't kept, like this: $16.95 or $172.82 are fine $17.90 or $190.20 come back as $17.9 and $190.2 I would like to make sure they are all properly formatted. Any ideas?
