Re: round up to float 0.00

sprintf() will do it, but you have to use the printf() format specifiers. In your case, your statement would be $num1 = sprintf ("%.2f", $num2); where $num2 is the number you're rounding and $num1 is the string output of sprintf(). And since PHP does its "type juggling", you can use $num1 as a float number in arithmetic operations. If you wanted to print the rounded number directly to output, then use printf ("%.2f", $num2); As others have pointed out in this thread, there are other--perhaps better--ways of doing this. I would prefer to do it this way because if you ever need to do it in perl or C, you'll already know how. This is what I love about programming: there can be literally hundreds of ways of doing any one simple thing. Sometimes, I like coming up with the more obscure methods. ;o) Good luck! Stephen.
