Basic help in php form (currency display)
You guys were very helpful yesterday. I'm still a little confused though.
I want to make the numbers in the rightmost column round to the nearest dollar:
http://www.nextadvisor.com/voip_services/voip_calculator.php?monthlybill=50&Submit=Submit
the table code looks like this:
I want the sentence $ [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] calcsavingsann to be rounded, how can this be done?
<table width="100%;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"class="credit_table2" >
<tr class="credit_table2_brd">
<td class="credit_table2_brd_lbl" width="100px;">Services:</td>
<td class="credit_table2_brd_lbl" width="120px;">Our Ratings:</td>
<td class="credit_table2_brd_lbl" width="155px;">Monthly VoIP Bill:</td>
<td class="credit_table2_brd_lbl" width="155px;">Annual Savings:</td>
</tr>

Grepsedawk's answer is good; I would add that instead of displaying $ 336.6 for example, you could use number_format to display $ 336.60.
(I know this is not your question, but looking at the link I thought it might be helpful for you.)
Edit - Thanks Andy for suggesting money_format instead.

money_format()
is a function that returns the string value of a formatted number. You have control over the formatting and obviously your number. A simple example, if you have a value in a variable $myNumber
, you can include the result in a given table data cell like so:
<?php echo ("<td>".money_format('%n',$myNumber)."</td>"); ?>
And you will need to do this for each value, eg. through the loop for
if you have all your values in an array. n
here is one of the formatting options - there are several of them. A good place to look would be on the PHP webpage at http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.money-format.php
Hope this helps.

I can't figure out how to use it correctly. The way to use echo is
echo '<tr >
<td ><a href="'.$offerlink.'" target="blank"><img src="http://www.nextadvisor.com'.$offerlogo.'" alt="'.$offername.'" /></a></td>
<td ><span class="rating_text">Rating:</span><span class="star_rating1"><img src="http://www.nextadvisor.com'.$offerstar.'" alt="" /></span><br />
<div style="margin-top:5px; color:#0000FF;"><a href="'.$offerlink.'" target="blank">Go to Site</a><span style="margin:0px 7px 0px 7px;">|</span><a href="'.$offeranchor.'">Review</a></div> </td>
<td >$'.$offerprice.'</td>
<td >$'.$offercalcsavingsann.'</td>
</tr>';
I have set "set locale" to the top where
"<?php"
there is. I don't understand how to write this, and every way I do it just returns an error.
