What are some alternative methods to rounding a number to a specific value in PHP?

When rounding a number to a specific value in PHP, the built-in round() function may not always provide the desired result. An alternative method is to use number_format() function with the desired precision and rounding mode. This allows for more control over how the number is rounded. 

// Alternative method to round a number to a specific value in PHP
$number = 10.56789;
$rounded_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', ''); // Rounds to 2 decimal places

echo $rounded_number; // Output: 10.57
