[RESOLVED] simplest way of removing zeros from decimal ?

[steamPunk]

Hi

what's the simplest way of removing zeros from decimals ?

in my db all product weights have 2 decimal places ('1.00', '1.50', '2.25' etc)

what I would like to do is display them without the final zeros, so that

'1.00' => 1 kg
'1.50' => 1.5 kg
'2.25' => 2.25 kg

is it possible to remove the zeros before adding the " kg" ?

thanks for any suggestions you may have

Cast the numeric string to float.

ok I'll have a look at casting floats (when i go fishing)
