Is it SUPPOSED to happy a number is sent to this little system and it's
SUPPOSED to round the number up. So if the number was 144035 the system
should look at it and say "Hey uo,
we need to round this up" So basicially I need it to convert in
thousands. Even if the total is a fraction over it still needs to ne
calculated as the next thousand up.
Sprru of o'm confusing you, i'm very tired. So basically, just make the
last 4 numbers always round up. 255000 would be correct - 255590 would
beINSORERECT as it should display 255600.
Hope that helped someone to help me :-)

I would use something similar to $rounded_number = ceil($test2/1000)*1000;

From my days as a math major, rounding doesn't always go up - it goes
to the nearest level that you have indicated. As Simon shows you, you
want to ceil to always go up, and floor to always go down. Neat
function names actually... :)
