But he's saying that, for his purposes, they're not -- if anything to the right of the last shown zero existed, it would be reflected in the output. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You want 2 or more decimal positions, so as if there are more than 2, to leave what exists. But your first example, you truncate the last 0.
