DOH, wouldn't you know it. As soon as I sent these messages I found my answer... $sellprice = round ($bprice, 2); -----Original Message----- From: David Smith [mailto:webmaster@123giftshopping.com] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:50 PM To: David Smith; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Formatting Percents What I have in code. If the retail price is $139.95 and I use the following: $aprice = $hotbuys["price"] * .15; // Determine Discount $bprice = $hotbuys["price"] - $aprice; // Subtract Discount $bprice = 118.9575 How can I format that to just 118.96? -----Original Message----- From: David Smith [mailto:webmaster@123giftshopping.com] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:31 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Formatting Percents Importance: High Hello everyone, I am having a problem and can't seem to find an answer. Maybe someone here can help. I have a gift store that has prices of items. Well each item has a retail price that I have added to the DB. Let's say I want to sell the products at a discount of 15% but I don't want to change all the records. I want to use PHP to configure the 15% off price. How does one do this? Does the MySQL field need to be formatted a certain way? I want to show: Retail Price: $100.00 Your Price: $85.00 Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more information.
