Or, if it was the 123.00 you wanted (ie. with trailing zeroes), you might
want to take a look at number_format.

Something like

echo(number_format(123.323,2,'.',''));

might do the job

123.323 is your number
2 is the number of decimal places
'.' is the decimal seperator
',' is the thousands seperator (eg. ",")
