I have the following variable in PHP:
$number = 1714.2
As you can see with the last decimal I would like to add a 0 if the last decimal number is lower than 10.
What I would like my variable to look like:
1714.02

3[number_format](http://php.net/number_format). Though why would 1714.2 become 1714.02 instead of 1714.20? – Jonnix Nov 22 '16 at 10:30

`.02` and `.2` are not the same, you should store __the correct__ value. – tkausl Nov 22 '16 at 10:31

the last digit will always be lower than 10 because thats how decimal/base 10 works – pancho018 Nov 22 '16 at 10:56

as .2 and .02 is not same. so, you must have to take correct value form source
or maybe php-manual number format is helpful to you. http://php.net/number_format

1714.2 is not equal to 1714.02 1714.2 means 1714.20 which means 1714.200
But if you want to get the desire result you want just put this code:
$number = $number - 0.18;
If you have a typo and you tried to say:
1714.2 being shown as 1714.20 then refer to: Set precision for a float number in PHP and number_format
