limiting the number of decimals

[sedric]

you might want to try the trunc command...if you look in the help files, it says that it will return the largest whole value that is not greater than the argument.

so trunc (3.6879586) will return 3

you can control number of decimals places in your float using this command by first multiplying your float by a large number , trunicating it , then deviding it by the same number.

float $foo = (trunc (3.6879586 * 1000) / 1000)

$foo will equal 3.687

you can use 100 or 10000000 or whatever you want....depending on the precision you want
