Alternative to money_format() Function in PHP on Windows Platform

Question

I am using the money_format() function in PHP, which gives the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format()


        

Answer 1

@Ajeet toMoney function looks good, but it is not working for the '0899'

Change length Into strlen()

$j = (($j = $i.length) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0;

so change into below like

$j = (($j = strlen($i)) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0;

Now this will work for any data.

<?php
function toMoney($val,$symbol='$',$r=2)
{


    $n = $val; 
    $c = is_float($n) ? 1 : number_format($n,$r);
    $d = '.';
    $t = ',';
    $sign = ($n < 0) ? '-' : '';
    $i = $n=number_format(abs($n),$r); 
    $j = (($j = strlen($i)) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0; 

   return  $symbol.$sign .($j ? substr($i,0, $j) + $t : '').preg_replace('/(\d{3})(?=\d)/',"$1" + $t,substr($i,$j)) ;

}

echo toMoney('0899'/100); //Note: single quotes mandatory

?>

I use this function:

function formatPrice($number, array $options = [])
{
    $options = array_replace([
        'alwaysShowDecimals' => true,
        'nbDecimals' => 2,
        'decPoint' => ".",
        'thousandSep' => "",
        'moneySymbol' => "€",
        'moneyFormat' => "vs", // v represents the value, s represents the money symbol
    ], $options);
    extract($options);

    $v = number_format($number, $nbDecimals, $decPoint, $thousandSep);
    if (false === $alwaysShowDecimals && $nbDecimals > 0) {
        $p = explode($decPoint, $v);
        $dec = array_pop($p);
        if (0 === (int)$dec) {
            $v = implode('', $p);
        }
    }
    $ret = str_replace([
        'v',
        's',
    ], [
        $v,
        $moneySymbol,
    ], $moneyFormat);
    return $ret;

}

And use it like this:

$numbers = [
    1500,
    90,
    17.52,
    3650.95,
];

$options = [
    'alwaysShowDecimals' => true,
    'nbDecimals' => 2,
    'decPoint' => ".",
    'thousandSep' => "",
    'moneySymbol' => "€",
    'moneyFormat' => "vs", // v represents the value, s represents the money symbol
];
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
    echo formatPrice($number, $options);
    echo "<br>";
}
/**
 * output:
 * 
 * 1500.00€
 * 90.00€
 * 17.52€
 * 3650.95€
 * 
 */

<?php
function toMoney($val,$symbol='$',$r=2)
{


    $n = $val; 
    $c = is_float($n) ? 1 : number_format($n,$r);
    $d = '.';
    $t = ',';
    $sign = ($n < 0) ? '-' : '';
    $i = $n=number_format(abs($n),$r); 
    $j = (($j = $i.length) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0; 

   return  $symbol.$sign .($j ? substr($i,0, $j) + $t : '').preg_replace('/(\d{3})(?=\d)/',"$1" + $t,substr($i,$j)) ;

}

echo toMoney(9856478521456.256);
?>

try this the out put of above code is "$9,856,478,521,456.26"

If you have the Intl extension, you can use

• NumberFormatter::formatCurrency — Format a currency value according to the formatter rules.

Example from Manual

$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );
echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "EUR")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "RUR")."\n";
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'ru_RU', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );
echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "EUR")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "RUR")."\n";

Output

1.234.567,89 €
1.234.567,89 RUR
1 234 567,89€
1 234 567,89р.

Answer 5

Keep it simple!

sprintf('%01.2f', $val);

Answer 6

I always just used this to manually add the dollar sign:

// for $k = 53.234234978
$k = "$ " . number_format($k, 2);
// output = $ 53.23
