Question

I have a number that is being returned from my database and I’d like to have trailing zeros after the decimal place. I’ve tried round but that doesn’t work.

$18.0 should be $18.00. What function would I use for this?

Answer 1

You can use number_format function for that.

Or sprintf like this:

$money1 = 68.75;
$money2 = 54.35;
$money = $money1 + $money2;

// echo $money will output "123.1";

$formatted = sprintf("%01.2f", $money); // << this does the trick!

// echo $formatted will output "123.10"
