AFAICS, number_format should deliver a string, which is what a
decimal(4,2) expects.
I wonder if you are failing to quote the string in your SQL? It would be
easier to tell if you posted the code.
On thing to try is to print out $price after the number_format, to check
whether the rounding happens then or later.
