I want to round to exactly 2 decimal places, even if the number starts out with no decimals.

Example:
$number = 2;
I want this to round to 2.00

I am using this code right now, but I dont know how to tell it to always round to 2 decimal places even if it means tacking on two zeros at the end.

$number = round($number, 2);

Should be an easy fix for this. Help?

I think you might be able to get that with money_format() or str_pad().

You should use the sprintf function to do this:


$number = sprintf("%01.2f", $number);

number_format((float) $number, 2);
