Formatting Numbers

[jimbob]

Hi,

I am emailing people price details and can't seem to format number into currency and them add it to a string.

I can print the number on screen using:

printf ("%01.2f",$subtotal_cost);

How can I add this to a string: like

$mailcontent .= printf ("%01.2f",$subtotal_cost);

Any ideas would be appreciated... it has been a late night!

Thanks,

Jimbob

One of those should do the trick for you.
