Show decimal paces

Hi all,

I have been playing with this all day with no result, can you help please.

I have variavles

$row_couponsales['used_count']; // which holds a number.
$_SESSION['salesproductprice']; // which holds a price, example 2.40
$_SESSION['salescommision']; // which holds a number, example 10.8
$commission; // which will hold the result of
$commission = $_SESSION['salesproductprice'] * $_SESSION['salescommision']; 

What I need to do is produce output that displays the result as 2.40 and not 2.0

<?php if ($row_couponsales['used_count'] > 0) {
$commission = $_SESSION['salesproductprice'] - $_SESSION['salescommision'];
echo number_format($commission, 2, '.', ',') * $row_couponsales['used_count'];
} else {
echo "0.00"; 
}

Dos this make sense.

You might want to give actual test values. Without knowing what you used for $row_couponsales['used_count'], it is impossible to see why the output should be 2.40 instead of 2.0

Not only that, but to have:

$commission = $_SESSION['salesproductprice'] * $_SESSION['salescommision'];

and

$commission = $_SESSION['salesproductprice'] - $_SESSION['salescommision'];

Looks inconsistent.

I would repeat the mantra: write the smallest and simplest script that demonstrates the problem.
