Show two decimal places

[markburley]

I have a user variable of RRP. It shows correctly if the value is 8.55, however if the value is 8.00 it shows as 8 and if it is 8.10 is shows as 8.1.

How can I make the number displayed always have two decimal places?

Use 'text' not 'number' is the easy way.

Assuming variable RRP is of type number:

<actinic:block php="true">printf('%.2f',<actinic:variable name="RRP" />);</actinic:block>

I have to admit, this is what I do.
That way you have more control over how it is displayed.

Simplest is often best .

Thank you for all your answers - the number can not be fomatted as text as it is linked to another database, I will try the other method and let you know how I get on.

Hi
Sorry to bump this to the top after all this time but I have the same problem. Bottom line, Im trying to add the AUG Automatically Calculate Savings based on an RRP code but if you have a RRP of 43.50 for example, it shows it as 43.5
.
I cant change the field type to text as php requires it as a number and I cant seem to find the exact format of the printf as per Normans post as code is already in php.
Thanks in adance for any help.

If the code you're using contains this line:

echo "RRP £$rrp - you save $savepercent%";

Try changing it to:

printf('RRP £%.2f  - you save %u%%', $rrp, $savepercent);

If it's different, post the code you're trying to use so we can point out where to fix it.
