[PHP] changed number_format function
A copy of php manual I downloaded a year back has the following about the behaviour of number_format function ?php $number = 1234.56; // english notation (default) $english_format_number = number_format($number); // 1,234.56 ? The latest on-line version is changed as below ?php $number = 1234.56; // english notation (default) $english_format_number = number_format($number); // 1,234 In many un-updated sites I could see the old version. I am not successful finding the change log related to this. Does any one know why it is changed thus? What is the best way to format numbers to put only the thousand separator without removing or adding decimal places to the number. For example, 1000 should return 1,000 1000.5 should return 1,000.5 1000.25 should return 1,000.25 so on. I am looking at sprintf now.

Ma SivaKumar Thus says http://www.php.net/number_format string number_format ( float number [, int decimals]) string number_format ( float number, int decimals, string dec_point, string thousands_sep) . . . If two parameters are given, number will be formatted with decimals decimals with a dot (.) in front, and a comma (,) between every group of thousands. ramil http://ramil.sagum.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yep, I don't think you can do that with number_format. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
