"nik at orfanos dot org"'s floatval function for those of us not running 4.2+ did help me, but to make sure it's fool proof you may want to use this instead: function floatval( $strValue ) { $floatValue = preg_replace( "/[^0-9\.]*/", "", $strValue ); if (false == is_numeric($floatValue)) $floatValue = 0; return $floatValue; } (the if line just makes sure to return 0 incase there are no characters left after teh preg_replace, or incase $strValue is something like 3.4.5.6) - Patrick -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.floatval.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27777 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27777 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27777
