I tried <?php $num = -56.98; $newNum = str_replace(".","",$num); echo "newNum = " . $newNum; $add50 = $newNum + 50; echo "<br>Add50 = " . $add50; $sub50 = $newNum -50; echo "<br>Sub50 = " . $sub50; ?> If you still need to do math on it, just remember you don't have a decimal anymore. See example above. Make sure you do any math you need to do before the str_replace. If you're just displaying it, then no problem. -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
