DOH, wouldn't you know it. As soon as I sent these messages I found my
answer...

$sellprice = round ($bprice, 2);

What I have in code.

If the retail price is $139.95 and I use the following:

$aprice = $hotbuys["price"] * .15;   // Determine Discount
$bprice = $hotbuys["price"] - $aprice;  // Subtract Discount

$bprice = 118.9575

How can I format that to just 118.96?

Hello everyone,

        I am having a problem and can't seem to find an answer. Maybe someone here
can help. I have a gift store that has prices of items. Well each item has a
retail price that I have added to the DB. Let's say I want to sell the
products at a discount of 15% but I don't want to change all the records. I
want to use PHP to configure the 15% off price. How does one do this? Does
the MySQL field need to be formatted a certain way?

I want to show:

Retail Price: $100.00
Your Price: $85.00

Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more information.
