Bug description: formatting numbers
It would be extremely helpful to be able to do more formatting of numbers
than is currently available.
Specifically, it would be good if number_format would prepend a dollar sign
or allow negative numbers to be shown in brackets rather than with a
negative sign. Both of these are necessary for accounting applications.
My current solution for negative currency looks like this:
if ( $value < 0 )
{
$value = "(\$".number_format(abs($value),2).")";
}
which works but is less than ideal. For one thing, it makes later use of
the number difficult.
