$decimal1 = $price - $whole; // 0.44000000000005 uh oh! that's why it needs... (see next line)
$decimal2 = round($decimal1, 2); // 0.44 this will round off the excess numbers
$decimal = substr($decimal2, 2); // 44 this removed the first 2 characters

if ($decimal == 1) { $decimal = 10; } // Michel's warning is correct...
if ($decimal == 2) { $decimal = 20; } // if the price is 1234.10... the decimal will be 1...
