formatting a number

[irving]

i have the current line in my *.php:

print $row["NOSTORIES"];

This displays a number like 1.5000. I would like format it to display only one number to the right of the decimal. How could I do this?

I also have a line:

print $row["LISTPRICE"];

This displays 6500. I would like to format it as $6,500. How could I do this?

echo "$";
echo number_format("123,456.00", 2);
