What variable contains the number?
How _exactly_ are you assigning the number to the variable?
How _exactly_ are you writing the data to the CSV file?

I tried looking up a function 'dump' at php.net and didn't turn up anything. How is dump implemented?

This statement _is_ correct. I see values such as 234.55, but not 234.00 in

55.00 will equal 55 when it should equal 55.00. 234.00 shows up as 234. The
data is fine it just simple does not show up
correctly in the CSV file.

$out
.="".$name.",".$description.",".$size.",".$stock.",".$price.",". $total_cost.
"";
$out .= "\n";

}
		
dump($out); This prints the correct data.
exit();
				
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=inventory_report.csv");

print $out; This prints wrong.

Actually that won't work I tried it. For some reason the .00 shows

try to manually add a .00. I know weird.

Did you mean to say that it .00 _doesn't_ show up when you try to
manually add a .00?

The value is in the array or string
before outputting printing to CSV. Number format does not work either.


And just to clarify...in your .csv file, you do see values such as
234.55, but not 234.00.

I can promise you that if you fprintf( $fp, "234.00" ), you will see
234.00 in your file.

So, the question becomes, what _exactly_ are you doing when you are
writing this stuff out.
