Hey ya,

I'm making a Top Site List at the moment, and In it i have a rating thing.

Well To get the rating i am doing

PHP Code:


$rating = $total_rating/$ratings;

But with this, i am getting:

$rating = "3.66666666667";

and what i want it to look like is:

$rating = "3.66";

How do i do this?

BTW: Meant VIA PHP

-- This is a Random number .. but this is the number got when i just tested out the rating system :P

Use the round() Function:

Code:

$rating = round("3.66666666667", 2);

The precision part (second paramater) only works in PHP 4 and higher, by the way.
