Note Submitter: jnm@mormino.net ---- [Editor's note: the contributor did not see number_format(), sprintf() and other similar functions that can accomplish this task.] I'm sure there is an easier way to float a number to a desired precision, but I couldn't find one. So, here is a function that floats 1 decimal place. function float1($val) { $x = intval(10*$val)/10; if ($x == intval($x)) return "".$x.".0"; else return intval(10*$val)/10; }
