when I define a number as $number = 2.00 then echo it the number shows as 2. How can I get the two zeros to show? This is not in any of my books but a fairly easy solution I'll bet!

please consider php.net as your book too ;-) have fun with the following: <?php $newLine = ($viaWeb = isset($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) ? "<br />" : "\n"; $number = 2.00; echo $number; echo $newLine; var_dump( $number ); if ($viaWeb) { echo $newLine; } printf("%0.2f", $number); echo $newLine; echo number_format( $number, 2 ); echo $newLine; echo sprintf("%01.2f", $number); echo $newLine; echo number_format(123456789, 2, ",", " "); echo $newLine;
