RE: [PHP3] formatting a double From: Mike Sheldon (msheldon <email protected>)

Use the number_format() function

number_format(float $number[, int $decimal_places[, string
$decimal_separator, string $thousands_separator]])

So:

number_format(3,666666667, 2, ",", ".")

Would result in:

3,66

Subject: [PHP3] formatting a double

I have a variable num1 and its value is 3,666666667.
But I want to print it as 3,66 not 3,666666667.
So how must I write the echo statement to format the double number?
