I've been looking all through the docs and I can't figure out how to set the number of digits to be displayed when printing a float (ie 1.23423522 to 1.23). I'm trying to avoid removing the extra digits by manipulating the float as a string as that would just make things messy.

number_format($number, 2, '.', '');

where 2 is the number of decimal you want to appear

Thanks a lot. I used to know that, completely forgot. Must be losing my mind. Or maybe I've been coding too long.

or by regexes:

PHP Code:

<?php

$value = 2.543543;

echo preg_replace('/^(\d+\\.\d{2}).*$/','$1',$value);

?>

Why would you complicated you're self by using pregmatch when there is a perfect function number_format that does much more pregmatch

I never said I would do it that way. I just gave an alternative option.
