My goal is to input the amount of Bytes used by a user as $inputbox and calculate how many kbs,megs,gigs along with $cost for the price per meg. <snip>

Questions? 1. Should I be dividing by 1024 or 1000? This was passed to me by word of mouth ... 2. Any way of rounding to 2 or 3 digests after the decimal point. 3. to remove any , from the inputted string.

1) 1024 is more correct, so, use it unless what you're given was (incorrectly) calculated with 1000. 2) round($number, 2) - http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php 3) Use a search and replace (regular expression) to replace commas with empty strings. ereg_replace("," "", $string) - http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php HTH, -- Matt Blasinski (mbv) Internet Infrastructure Applications Technology Division of Information Technology 3121 Computer Science and Statistics 1210 West Dayton Street Madison WI 53706 Work (608) 262-2286 Cell (608) 206-4098
