printf with a decimal value

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

I extract a value from my table that is decimal datatype:

Code:

$resource_pt = intval($row['resource_pt']);

I need to display this in a field. I have read where I need to use printf to do this.

What is the proper syntax to place it here for editing?

Code:

echo "<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#999999\"><input type=\"text\" size=\"30\" name=\"resource_pt\" value=\"$resource_pt\"/></td>";

I have tried number_format and all I get are 0000 in my field when the value is .125

If you are wanting to retain the decimal, you need to remove the intval. You are basically converting this to an integer, which is zero.

Does it work after doing that?

Yes. Thanks.
