Re: Formatting Decimals

I have been asked to further modify the value to the nearest half cent. So if the 3rd decimal spot ends in 1 or 2, it gets rounded down to 0 If it ends in 3, 4, 5, 6 it gets rounded to 5. And if it 7, 8 or 9 it gets rounded up to full cents. Can this be done fairly easily? Not knowing PHP well, I am not aware of the logic to configure this accordingly.

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.
