Ok, I've already checked that number_format will not output spaces based on the calls you gave. Here's that script since it seems you don't believe me - try it yourself... <?php // This tests whether number_format is adding spaces print "'".number_format("3000",2,",",".")."'\n"; print "'".number_format("300",2,",",".")."'\n"; ?> As for the rounding thing, it does appear that number_format will round the number before displaying it. To avoid this you'll need to manipulate the number using the string functions. -Stut PS. Please do not just reply to me directly.
