inserting a decimal

Hi

I am trying to insert a decimal point two places from the right end of
a string so 100 would become 1.00 I have tried using number_format and
printf but I get 100.00

Any suggestions?

Thanks

David

If your starting number is ALWAYS a whole number, you can divide by 100..

Or would you sometimes have

67.7 and want to get 6.77 (for example)...

$string = substr($string, 0, strlen($string) - 2) . '.' . substr($string,
strlen($string) -1, 2);
