It's gotta be easy, but I can't find it... How do I reduce the number of decimal places in a variable ???

$a = int(100 * $a)/100.0;

Which will work, but personally I would try to avoid reducing the number of decimal places that are stored in the variable and instead do the reduction when the variable was printed, i.e. use sprintf and printf for printing the values.

Indeed.
