[PHP] number_format question
I using number_format where I need to turn a number say "123456789" into "123,456,789" and it works just fine. I also need it to strip the decimal out if someone enters it. I.E "123456.00" would become "123,456" the command I'm using right now is: number_format($number, ","); If I enter "123456.00" it comes out as "123". Did I miss something?

I have a number like this 0.51 and I would like it to display without the leading 0. How can I do this? Thanks.

RE: [PHP] number_format question
Tried it. It works but crops everything after the first "," in the number if you enter a number with commas. Works great if you don't enter any commas. What I need to be able to do: IN OUT 123456789 > 123,456,789 123456789.00 > 123,456,789 123,456,789.00 > 123,456,789 Ed On Thu, 31 Oct 2002, Jay Blanchard wrote: > [snip] > If I try that I get a wrong parameter count error. > > [/snip] > > number_format ( float number [, int decimals [, string dec_point [, string > thousands_sep]]]) > > number_format($number, 0, '', ','); > > Try that ... > > Jay > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] number_format question
what about str_replace(",", "", $str) before you pass the value to
number_format()?

How many integers can you name that have commas in them??? In other words, you have a string, so PHP converts it to an integer to pass to number format. Thus you only get the integer part up to the first comma. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] number_format question
What you need to do with the input number is to do an ereg_replace() and eliminate the commas from the string, then use the string variable where needed. Then, when you want to display the variable, use the number_format() function.

There are lots of solutions. $num = 0.51; $num_parts = explode( '.', $num ); $num_new = '.' . $num_parts[1]; Or if it's always going to be a number b/w 0 and 1 then you could use substr() to get the part you want. You could also use something like ereg_replace(). Someone else may have a solution that's better. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
