i knew it was something simple liek that, damm brain farts... for some
reason my basic math skills escaped me and i forgot how to convert the %
into a usable number by php.. i.e using decimal places... i didnt know about
the round() function though, yet another one of the many functions i have
yet to come across..

Anyway.. thanks michael for your quick reply
