----

the function in the note below seems a bit more complicated then it really needs to be.  since we are dealing with strings, we can use the string functions instead.

<?php

  function DecimalClean($Input)
  {
      return (strpos($Input, '.') === false) ? $Input : rtrim($Input, '0');
  }

?>

Explanation:
First we check to see if the number contains a decimal point (we assume that it is a sane/valid number). 

If the number lacks a decimal point then we do not need to do anything, otherwise we use the trim function which is very fast because it is a low level function, to remove the zeros.  Trim will stop at the first character that is not a '0'.

The only limitation is that this version does not account for localized decimal points.
