Getting full decimal from MySQL

Howdy,

I've got a file that gets data from MySQL. When I print the field value, I get the full number, ex:

echo "$$balance";

returns "$12.00"

however, when I want to add two amounts that have empty decimal values
ex. ($balance=12.00; $add_fees=0.00)

$total = $balance + $add_fees;
echo "$$total";

then only "$12" is returned, missing the empty decimal value.

but I need to print the empty decimal as ".00"

this one has really stumped me. I appreciate any ideas.

Again.. You need to use printf or number_format.
