I had to write a little bit of PHP to convert mm into feet and inches. $mm_value = 2590.00; $convert_to_metres = floor($mm_value) / 1000; $convert_to_inches = $convert_to_metres * 39.3701; $feet_value = floor( $convert_to_inches / 12 ); $inches_value = ( $convert_to_inches % 12 ); print $feet_value . '\' ' . $inches_value . '"'; Should give you 8’ 5” ;) »
