But that breaks on negative numbers. Best to stick with the FAQ answers rather than making up your own. {sigh}

    I supposed you could get the int() method to work on negatives by using abs() and some arithmetic with it.

    if ( $value < 0 ) {
   $rounded = ( int( abs($value) + 0.5) );
   $rounded = $rounded - ( $rounded * 2 );
} else {
$rounded = int($value + 0.5)
}

    or something...

    Seems more complicated than sprintf() =)
