As an addition to that, if you don't want the thousands separator to be ',';
do the following:
$amount = 1234.567
$fmt1 = number_format($amount,2);
$fmt2 = number_format($amount,2,'.','');
echo("$fmt1\n$fmt2");
This will output:
1,234.56
1234.56

$amount = 17.9;
$dollars = "$" . number_format($amount, 2);
echo "$dollars";
you should see $17.90.

Hello,
Does anyone here have a good way to make sure dollar amounts are formatted
properly? I have something that returns data, but the problem is it's
stored where any trailing zero isn't kept, like this:
$16.95 or $172.82 are fine
$17.90 or $190.20 come back as $17.9 and $190.2
I would like to make sure they are all properly formatted. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
