    Im formating a number say 6.788 and with the number is being rounded up to 7 by number_format or or 439.978 rounded to 440, is there a way i can tell the it to only take characters from the left side of the decimal point with out rounding up or down?

    you could do this
    $number = "34.234234234234";
$integer = explode(".", $number);

echo $integer[0];

    Fair play to you.:D I know theres a way to do all these little things but its hard to know what to search for on the php.net site!

    You could use floor();

    I had also tried sprintf: [PHP]$fNum = 6.788;
    echo sprintf( '%d - %.0f', $fNum, $fNum ); // Printed "6 - 7"[/PHP]
