packeb TEMPLATE LIST
This function is much like Perl's built-in "pack". It takes a list of values and packs it into an EBCDIC record (structure). If called in list context, it will return a list of one element. The TEMPLATE is patterned after Perl's pack template but allows fewer options. The following characters are allowed in the template:
...
P (1) Packed-decimal field with F signs for positive numbers
(sometimes called "unsigned") (default length = 8)
Whats up fellas, I am new here... just wanted to see if anyone knew a way to get an avergage of a list of numbers... I am trying to use bc (number of records in file divided by sum of all records in file) but it is not giving me accurate data.

How can we have EBCDIC file convertedinto ASCII, which has packed decimal data in it?
Thanks in advance. (3 Replies)

string number_format (float $number, [int $decimals])
DESCRIPTION
string number_format (float $number, int $decimals, string $dec_point = ".", string $thousands_sep = ",")

If only one parameter is given, $number will be formatted without decimals, but with a comma (",") between every group of thousands.
If two parameters are given, $number will be formatted with $decimals decimals with a dot (".") in front, and a comma (",") between every
group of thousands.
If all four parameters are given, $number will be formatted with $decimals decimals, $dec_point instead of a dot (".") before the decimals
and $thousands_sep instead of a comma (",") between every group of thousands.
PARAMETERS
o $number
- The number being formatted.
o $decimals
- Sets the number of decimal points.
o $dec_point
- Sets the separator for the decimal point.

EXAMPLES
Example #1
number_format(3) Example
For instance, French notation usually use two decimals, comma (',') as decimal separator, and space (' ') as thousand separator.
This is achieved with this line :
<?php
$number = 1234.56;
// english notation (default)
$english_format_number = number_format($number);
// 1,235
// French notation
$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56
$number = 1234.5678;
// english notation without thousands separator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57
?>
