Testing this out a little:
mattias@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo "\$".number_format(0.109, 2, ".", ",")."\n";'
$0.11
mattias@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo "$".number_format(0.109, 2, ".", ",")."\n";'
$0.11
mattias@mumin:~$ php -r 'echo "$".number_format("0.109", 2, ".", ",")."\n";'
$0.11
I think the $ should be escaped with a backslash when enclosed within double quotes, but even the second and third tries return the correct result for me. Using PHP 5.2.10.
Cheers,
Mattias

Hello List. Probably an easy question, but I am not able to format a number to round up from 3 numbers after the decimal to just 2. My code looks like this: $newprice = "$".number_format($old_price, 2, ".", ","); and this returns "$0.109" when I am looking for "$0.11". I tried: $newprice = "$".round(number_format($old_price, 2, ".", ","),2); But no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, --Rick
