Default Number of Decimal Places to Output in PHP

Question

I do my php work on my dev box at home, where I\'ve got a rudimentary LAMP setup. When I look at my website on my home box, any numbers I echo are automatically truncated t

Answer 1

And when you can't rely on the PHP configuration, don't forget about number_format() which you can use to define how a number is returned, ex:

// displays 3.14 as 3 and 4.00 as 4    
print number_format($price, 0); 
// display 4 as 4.00 and 1234.56 as 1,234.56 aka money style
print number_format($int, 2, ".", ","); 

PS: and try to avoid using money_format(), as it won't work on Windows and some other boxes
