Sales Tax Problem

Hello, I have a slight problem, at least I hope its only slight. When I enter in the sales tax it rounds off I need to change this. The sales Tax where I am is 8.875% but when I enter this in the program it rounds off to 8.88% What do I need to do to change this. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Re: Sales Tax Problem

Most decimals are rounded in the display only for 2 digits which is almost enough for everyone needs.

However if you want to change this, you can by editing the cgi files:

Sell.pm, PreviewItme.pm, search for the line number 397 in sell.pm and line number 376 in PreviewItme.pm

which says:


Code: Perl
$Temp = &Format_Digits(sprintf("%.2f", $Param{SalesTax}));


change the value 2 to 3 or any number of decimals you want.

Please download and upload the files in ASCII mode or edit it from your cPanel if you have it.

Thanks

I changed the code like you said but when I enter 8.875 it still keeps changing to 8.88 any suggestions.

If you mean on the view auction page, you will need also to edit the cgi file ParseItem.pm the same line of code, lines 202, 215. Thank you
