Displaying discounted price to 2 decimal place

[grantos1]

Hi guys,

I struggled the the title for this sorry, the code below (asuming I've cut the right part) displays the following:

RRP: £215 Our Price: £172 Inc. VAT
You Save 20% while offer lasts!

£172.00 (Including VAT at 20%)


but will only ever display 1 figure after the decimal point, could someone tell me why?

Thanks guys


<actinic:block php="true" >

$rrp = <actinic:variable name="RRP" selectable="false" />;

$rawprice = (((<actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" />) /100)* 120);

{

$saving = ((($rrp - $rawprice) / $rrp) * 100);

echo "Our Price: £";

echo round(((("<actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" />")/100) * 120) ,2);

echo " Inc. VAT";

echo "<br />You Save ".number_format($saving,0)."% while offer lasts!";

}

</actinic:block>

Sorry, I don't understand.

Which bit of the display do you want to change? The only decimal point I can see in the displayed example is in the £172.00 and that has two figures after the dp.

Sorry, poor example

Instead of
echo round(((("<actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" />")/100) * 120) ,2);
why not just use this:
echo round($rawprice ,2);

[Duncan Rounding]

If it's still the same with the above change then maybe it's because round(127.2,2) is 127.2 and not 127.20 as expected whereas round(127.21,2) would be 127.21. You can check this quite easily in the code.

[Mike Hughes]

You need to use number_format rather than round.

Round will just round up to the required number of places but you haven't told it to display (rather than just round) the second dp figure of 0.

Just replace 'round' with 'number_format' and you should be OK.

i.e.

echo number_format($rawprice ,2);

Stupendous, that's done the trick, cheers Mike!

In addtion to this $rrp value

Hi everyone,

I implemented this RRP saving for a client and they mentioned that when they type the rrp value in, if there is a zero then is gets removed eg. £65.50 is displayed as £65.5 or £55.00 becomes £55. Does anyone know how the $rrp value can display the additonal zeros?

Cheers.
Lee.

Umm. read the post 2 places above your own?

Mike

OK. For clarity, that displays the 'our price' to 2 DP but you just have to do the same for $rrp.

Its been one of those days I'm afraid.... =( Thanks for pointing the obvious.
