80 becomese 1 instead of 0.8
180 becomes 2 instead of 1.8

In my system, this code:

<?php

echo number_format(80/100, 2) . "\n";
echo number_format(80, 2)/100 . "\n";

?>

prints this output:

0.80
0.8

You can try forcing a cast to float, that works in other languages:

(float)$foo
100.0



That makes sense. The second example is not formatting the fraction, so it is printed in default format.
