Subject: [PHP] decimal point movement...
Greetings!
I am looking for an efficeient way to assign a decimal to a number and store
the new number.
I wanto add a decimal point after the first 2 leading digitis..
while ( query runs)
{
$temp=007170;
$changed_to_deicmal_form; // would store .7170
}
Furthermore I was using printf to round up numbers...has anyone found a
different or better way?
