     $fee = [web-service response (in dollars and cents)]
     settype($fee, "float");
     $fee_type = gettype($fee);
     $range = explode(",",strim($pr));
     $rangecounter = count($range);
     $rangecounter = ($rangecounter>1?$rangecounter-1:0);
     $ccc_supp =  floatval($rangecounter * 3);
     settype($ccc_supp, "float");
     $fee2 = $fee + $ccc_supp;

 $smarty->assign('ccc_fee','The CCC QuickPrice for this request is:
 $'.sprintf("%01.2f",$fee2)."<br>$ccc_terms");

All is handled in PHP before assignation. I'm only asking $smarty to display
my variable.

I've been using Smarty for 3 years now - across over 20 websites and this is
the first real hassle I've encountered.

Anyway, I'm off for the weekend now.
