Format decimal removing anything before the decimal point

Multiplying it by 100 will shift the decimal place over to the right by two spaces. This won't work, however, if you have a number such as 0.376, which will generate 37.6.

Another solution might be to just use a regular expression. Something like:

Code:

$number = 0.37;
$pattern = '.+\.([0-9]+)';
if (eregi($pattern, $number, $matches)) {
    $number = $matches[1];
}
echo $number;

this will work no matter how many decimal places you have, however, if you are interested in only the first 2 decimal places, multiplying by 100, and then using floor() should work for you. Like this:

Code:

$number = 0.37;
$number = floor($number*100);

EDIT: You can also use ceil() or round(), depending on what exactly it is you need.
