You could try concatenating a string of "0"s (�25.5000) on the end and using
substr on the whole to get your �25.50.
$currency = $currency . "000";
$currency = substr( $currency, 0, strpos($currency,'.') + 3 )

Subject: [PHP-WIN] displaying neat and tidy currency notation?
Hi,
I want to be able to display the results of some calculations as currency
such as �25.50, but round($var,2) produces �25.5.
I've tried writing my own function but that just fouled up the calculation.
Any tips or suggestions?
Cheers
George in Oxford

string number_format ( float number [, int decimals] ) string number_format (
float number, int decimals, string dec_point, string thousands_sep )

George,
have a look at number_format()
(http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php). that in
combo with round() should do the trick.

Hello George,
Try something like this:
$var = '25.5';
$var = sprintf("%.2f", $var);
echo $var;

Thanks to all who responded. I did managed to write a working function last
night, but I've now dropped that one in favour of the sprintf() function.
Cheers
George
