Recap:
In the query I had;
SELECT totalamount
And it was returning;
Total Amount
5.41108926696E-309
I tried to modify the query to;
SELECT cast(totalamount as decimal(10,2)) as totalamount
And php gave me an error;
Undefined Index at line (x);
When I tried to use 'number_format($totalamount,2)' it returned;
Total Amount
0.00
Solution:
The solution was in the query;
SELECT cast(totalamount as numeric(10,2)) as totalamount
This returns the proper formatting;
Total Amount
123.50
