Breifly rumaged through the PHP docs and couldn't find this answer. How do i force PHP to hold ending zero in a double? Ie- if the price is 15.50, php will output it as 15.5 after it does the math. how do i overcome this. thanks! jason -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
