Sorry for the simple question, but I have basically no PHP experience. I'm theming my invoice. I have:

<?
php print $product->price
?>

I want it to be formatted $00.00 but it keeps formatting 00.00000.

How can I change this to the format that I want? Thanks!

@jan101: Those PHP functions are poor choices for this task because they ignore the currency symbol, symbol location, precision, and decimal/thousands separators chosen in the Ubercart administration menus for the site, require you to hard-wire a format into your template, and prevent your site from working with multiple currencies. All display of pricing in Ubercart should be passed through uc_currency_format().

Thank you, TR. Kind of sad that something that simple can be a stumbling block, but without much PHP experience, it would have been. Thanks again!
