Re: Forms with math computations and multiple buttons

OK, I understand. Why don't you use the currency method?

http://api.cakephp.org/class/number-helper#method-NumberHelpercurrency

You might want to override the defaults with the $options array if you
don't want a dollar sign, etc.

Note that the comment for format() method ("Formats a number into a
currency format.") is bogus. That's just been copied from currency().
