RE: decimal numbers

You need to use sprintf or printf to format the output. Here's the necessary code: $Percent = sprintf ("%0.2f", $Percent); If you use printf it will print the result, whereas sprintf (as used above) returns the string and lets you assign it to a variable instead.

What percent? $Total = 123; $ok = 78; $Percent = (100 / 123) * 78; // 63.41463414... But I need just two decimal: 63.41 I'm doing it this way: $Percent = $Percent * 10; // 6341.463414... settype($Percent, "integer"); // 6341 $Percent = $Percent / 10; // 63.41 I thing there is much better solution! Thanks for help Afan
