PHP decimal problem!??

Ziycon · 2007-01-02 20:49:08

I'm trying to get a decimal to print to screnn like so 00.00 but whe it queries the DB i get the value back and then divide it and echo it to screen but i always get like this 00.0000000000 which doesn't look very nice! Anyone know how to stop this happening or how to format php variables to just 2 decimal places????
