POphp number_format gives error message
text
Body
copied!<p>I am using php to parse an XML file, but I get an error message when attempting to display a formatted number:</p> <p>Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double, object given in /home/chesspro/public_html/UNYCL/people-8.php on line 45</p> <pre><code><?php $xml = simplexml_load_file('Rochester_1.xml'); foreach($xml->meet as $item) { print '<table class="basic report tableland brown_gradient"><thead>'; print '<tr><th class="R-align">Board</th><th class="L-align">'.$item->visitor.'</th>'; $subtotal = 0; foreach($item->match as $temp) {$subtotal = $subtotal + $temp->white->score;} print "<th>" .number_format($subtotal,1). "</th>"; $subtotal = 0; foreach($item->match as $temp) {$subtotal = $subtotal + $temp->black->score;} print "<th>" .number_format($subtotal,1). "</th>"; print '<th class="L-align">'.$item->home.'</th>'; print '</tr><tbody>'; foreach($item->match as $game) { print '<tr><td class="R-align">'. $game->board . "</td>"; print '<td>'. $game->white->player."</td>"; //Here is error: note that number is sometimes 0 $X = $game->white->score; print '<td>'. number_format($X) ."</td>"; print '<td>'. $game->black->score."</td>"; print '<td class="L-align">'. $game->black->player."</td>"; print "</tr>";} print '</table>';} ?> </code></pre> <p>Now can I fix this? I need one point of decimal precision (X.X) although some numbers are integers like "7" which I want to format and display as "7.0" Note that I am using a near current php version 5.3.4</p>
