PHP: Decimal Places

Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2003 5:15 pm (21 years, 3 months ago)

I am dividing two variables by each other:

$ratio = $kills/$deaths;

and often I get a long decimal such as 2.45973184 How can I make it so that the decimal is correctly rounded to 2dp?

Thanks,

float round ( float val [, int precision])
Returns the rounded value of val to specified precision (number of digits after the decimal point). precision can also be negative or zero (default).
