[PHP] number_format
In the previous version of PHP we were using, I could pass a string to number_format and it would just change it to a 0 without complaint. With 5.3.6 I get an expects double error. I don't suppose there's a way to make it work like it used to??? I'm dealing with really old code that wasn't very well structured. Thanks!

Quoting Floyd Resler fres...@adex-intl.com:
In the previous version of PHP we were using, I could pass a string
to number_format and it would just change it to a 0 without
complaint. With 5.3.6 I get an expects double error. I don't
suppose there's a way to make it work like it used to??? I'm
dealing with really old code that wasn't very well structured.
The way I would get around this would be to create a function like this:
function my_number_format($number, $decimals = 0, $dec_point = '.',
$thousands_sep = ',') {
$number += 0; //convert value to a number.
return number_format($number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep);
}
The just do a global replace of number_format with my_number_format.
That should work, although I haven't tested it...

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.

[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?

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.

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.

Re: [PHP] number_format() buggy round when usind database resultset
I'm finding some problems on using number_format($value, $decimal, ",", ".") when I have a value comming from a resultset (database query results)... If I had something like '123.45', using number_format it will return '123,00'. I think this happens because my value is a string and PHP rounds it before using it on number_format. If I try to change the data type like (double) $value, I will also have a '123.00' result. I could do something on database like 'to_char(FIELD, '999G999D99') but database default is '.' for decimal separator and ',' for thousand separator...and I want the opposite. Suggestions/Solutions? :) Your database may have a number_format() function that can better interact with the internal data of the database. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
