Echoing dollar values, $25.00 turns into .00

    If I do, for instance,

    [insert_php]

     echo "$25.00";

[/insert_php]

    It displays on the page as:

    .00

    If I do,

    [insert_php]

     echo "25.00";

[/insert_php]

    It displays as:

    25.00

    Any ideas as to why this happens, and how to resolve it? I’m not sure if word press is filtering this, and ideas?

    The only fix I’ve found is to make a custom page template for the page in question in Word Press, and put my php code into there.

    Smaandar, try
    echo "\$25.00";
    or
    echo '$25.00';

    The $ symbol within double quotes means what follows should be treated as a variable. Escaping it, or putting it in single quotes, bypasses that.
