Here's your problem: $totalamount = number_format($totalamount, 2); That creates a string with a comma in it. When you try to read it as a number again, the comma screws it up. Wait to do the number_format until you output like this:

echo "Subtotal:          £".number_format($totalamount, 2)."<br>\n";

... echo "Total Including Tax: £".number_format($totalamount, 2)."<br>\n"; In other words, instead of assigning the number formatted string back to $totalamount, format it only on output. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
