Decimal Variable

How to verify its a decimal and if not, turns it into a decimal

[wfernley]

Hi everyone.

I was curious on how to see if a variable has 2 decimal points and then if it doesn't convert it to a decimal value.

For example, if I have a value that is 5700, I need to convert it to 5700.00.

Thanks for your help :)

what about
number_format [ca3.php.net]?

Thanks jatar_k!

I looked up that function and found that sprintf would work great.

I then did this:

$total = sprintf("%01.2f",$total);

It works great and converts it to the format I need.

Thanks again :)
