How can PHP be optimized to retain decimal values in form submissions without truncating them?

When submitting a form with decimal values in PHP, the values may get truncated if not handled correctly. To retain decimal values in form submissions, you can use the PHP function `number_format()` to ensure the decimal values are not lost during processing.

// Retrieve the form input with decimal values
$input_value = $_POST['decimal_input'];

// Use number_format to retain decimal values
$decimal_value = number_format($input_value, 2);

// Now $decimal_value will retain the decimal values without truncation
