What I wanted to do was use number_format on decimal numbers with uncertain precision, in cases where I wanted to preserve whatever was to the right of the decimal point without truncating it. I did this by using: $pieces = explode(".", $decimal_number); $formatted_number = number_format($pieces[0]) . "." . rtrim($pieces[1],"0"); Note that rtrim with a second parameter will only work for PHP 4.1., so I actually used a different (database-dependent) solution for that part. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32389 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32389&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32389&report=yes
