How do I get many decimal places out of php microtime(true)?

Question

In part of my code when I print microtime(true) it gives me a number like this 1410876482.803832 (6 decimal places), but other times it gives me a number like this 1410876484.86 (2 decimal places).

How do I get it to consistently give my 6 decimal places?

`sprintf('%.6f', microtime(true))` – Marc B Sep 16 '14 at 14:13 — Marc B, Sep 16 '14 at 14:13

look for the setting [precision] - this controls the number of decimal places used.
