If I have a value of 19750, and I know that is an implied decimal of 3 spaces ie. 19.750, how do I format to appear like that. I can substr all day long, but if there is a number_format or sprintf way to do this, that would be awesome
any help would be great

Have you considered dividing by 1000 first?
I won't claim this is the "best" way, but it's probably what I'd do if it's just an output issue:
printf ("The value is %.3f", $value / 1000);
If you want to assign it to a variable, it might be more efficient to do:
$var = round($value / 1000, 3); // makes sure there is no floating point precision problem

chrisleon, you only need to post in one section of the board. Most members will check multiple sections anyway.
