Google gave me a bunch of hits, but none where useful. I can go back and get them for you, but all they have is the man pages or documentation on *print*. PHP does have nice little functions (format_number, format_currency, etc.) that provide the results I want. I was hoping that doFormat would allow somekind of formatting such as: doFormat("$%,.2f",1234.45); and return $1,234,45. or something like that. Adding the $ at the beginning is easy. .-) Or, doFormat("$10,.2f",1234.45); would return $ 1,234.56 where only 10 characters are allowed from the left side of the period back. Anyway, you get what I am saying. josé
