<?php

$num = -56.98;

$newNum = str_replace(".","",$num);
echo "newNum = " . $newNum;

$add50 = $newNum + 50;
echo "<br>Add50 = " . $add50;

$sub50 = $newNum -50;
echo "<br>Sub50 = " . $sub50;

?>

If you still need to do math on it, just remember you don't have a
decimal anymore. See example above. Make sure you do any math you need
to do before the str_replace. If you're just displaying it, then no
problem.
