Hey Guys,

I am just finishing my first true PHP project and I am having a problem with positions after the decimal…

What I want to do is ALWAYS display percentages to 3 places after the decimal. I have the round function working, but even if the percentage is .75 I want to see .750 or .5 to be .500…

Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks,
