I entered the results in the wrong fields. It should have read:
Expected result:
--------------
value: 0 format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '' format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: null format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: 'dummy' format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '2' format:'2.00' is_null: 0
Actual result:
----------------
value: 0 format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '' format:'' is_null: 1
value: null format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: 'dummy' format:'' is_null: 1
value: '2' format:'2.00' is_null: 0

Description:
------------
There is an unexpected (or undocumented) aspect of money_format. When
supplied with 0 or null as a value it returns the formatted version of
those values. When an empty string is supplied as the value, null is
returned. Null and '' should be treated the same way in this case.
This behavior may be understandable when a non-numeric string is
submitted, but a notice should probably be emitted.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',true);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_STRICT);
foreach(array("0"=>0,"''"=>"",'null'=>null,"'dummy'"=>'dummy',"'2'"=>'2')
as $desc=>$value) {
$mf = money_format("%(n",$value);
echo "value: $desc\tformat:'".$mf."'\tis_null:
".(string)(int)is_null($mf)."\n";
}
Expected result:
----------------
value: 0 format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '' format:'' is_null: 1
value: null format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: 'dummy' format:'' is_null: 1
value: '2' format:'2.00' is_null: 0
Actual result:
--------------
value: 0 format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '' format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: null format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: 'dummy' format:'0.00' is_null: 0
value: '2' format:'2.00' is_null: 0
