values

[Richardtagger]

how can i get a value $price and remove the dollars sign to make $price2. I need two values of the price, one with the dollar sign at the beginning, and the other just as a number. How can i strip off the $ sign? thanx

// To strip off the $ sign
$price1 = "$2.00";
$price2 = substr($price1,1);
echo $price1." - ".$price2."<br />";

// Or to add the $ sign
$price1 = "2.00";
$price2 = "$".$price1;
echo $price1." - ".$price2;
