Problem with PHP4 & PHPLib Templates

[Anon]

I am running PHP 4.0.4, MySQL 3.23.29-1 on Linux 2.2.16-22 (Redhat 7.0).

I have a problem using PHPLib (7.2c) templates.

If i try to parse float's read from the database into a template, only the characters after and including the decimal point are parsed. I.e, "10.99" will be parsed as ".99".

An echo () will display the full value of the float. I.e, "10.99".

Any ideas?

I'm sure you found the answer to your problem by now, but in case you have not...

If there is a '$' in front of the "10.99" it screws up the regular expressions - it's trying to make the front part $10 into a variable. a space between the $ and you number will fix this issue
