I need some advice on formatting numbers using PHP.

My database holds numbers like:

10
0.2

I need these to be displayed as

10.00
0.20

I'll add the '£' sign, so the end result is

£10.00
£0.20

How do I do that. ? The vaule are coming from $number


Also some of the numbers may be negatives:

-0.3
-5

Is there any easy way to detect negitives ?

Ideally I'd like to be able to show positive number in one color and
negitive in red on screen.

Thanks :)
