solved - PHP - removing scientific notation from string

Hello,

This should be a simple thing but I haven’t a clue and can’t find it anywhere, can anybody help?

I have a number it is displaying in scientific notation, I want it to just be a long number!

How do I do this?

Many thanks,

Sian

Hi, thanks for that. Have been scouring through pages for days.

Ended up using printf ("%.0f");

Many thanks,
