PHP float with 2 decimal places: .00

Question

When I do this typecasting:

(float) \'0.00\';

I get 0. How do I get 0.00 and still have the data type as a float?

Answer 1

0.00 is actually 0. If you need to have the 0.00 when you echo, simply use number_format this way:

number_format($number, 2);
