Edit: D'oh, you beat me too it

First we move the decimal point one place to the left (by dividing it by 10), then sprintf formats the result.

%0.1F (or %.nF) == format the value given as a floating point number (F) to one decimal place (0.1, the number after the . is the number of places, so %.4F would be to 4 decimal places and so on).

An alternative way (and a lot less elegant)

PHP Code:


			
echo round($row['cargo_11'] / 10, 1);

sprintf is a very powerful and useful function.
