Rounding up

how?

[petra]

I've been trying to round up a figure from a shopping feed so that instead of displaying 6.989 it displays 6.99.

Basically I want to round up all the figures in the $Price field from the mysql database.

I've played around with the php round function but to no avail!

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Try this:

$number = 6.989;
$newNumber = number_format($number,2);

That will cut $number to 2 decimal places, rounding it accordingly.

If you want to ensure it always rounds up, try something along these lines:

$number = 6.981;
$newNumber = [url=http://php.net/number_format]number_format[/url]( ( ( [url=http://php.net/ceil]ceil[/url]($number * 100) ) / 100 ) , 2);
echo $newNumber; // 6.99

Thanks for that, however its not working, where does the code go? and what about implementing it to a $variable and not a specific number?

Thanks again!

Figured it out , replaced actual number with $variable.

Thanks to both of you!

Cheers!

I always use this when I always want to round up (normally with pagination scripts)

$value = 3.392
$num = round($value +.5);

That's a much better way than mine, supermanjnk. Thanks for posting it. :)
