Re: Numeric help needed

Hi Jason, I've tried lots of different things, including: echo "<br>" . round(68500, 1000) . " ROUNDED"; thinking that might be it, but i'm stumped This is the example I was given (And have to go by): "If the loan amount is $68500.00, the insurace will be based on $69000.00 as the amount is always rounded up to the next $1000." Maybe i'm just looking at it wrong but i'm stumped.
