How to format a number to a dollar amount in PHP

Question

How do you convert a number to a string showing dollars and cents?

eg: 123.45 => '$123.45' 123.456 => '$123.46' 123 => '$123.00' .13 => '$0.13' .1 => '$0.10' 0 => '$0.00' 

Answer 1

PHP also has money_format () .

Here is an example:

 echo money_format('$%i', 3.4); // echos '$3.40' 

This function actually has many options, go to the documentation I am attached to to see them.

Note: money_format undefined on Windows.

Answer 2

If you just need something simple:

 '$' . number_format($money, 2); 

number_format ()

Answer 3

I tried money_format() , but that did not work for me at all. then I tried the following. It worked perfect for me. hope it will work correctly for you too .. :)

you should use this

 number_format($money, 2,'.', ',') 

it will display a monetary number in monetary format up to 2 decimal places.

Answer 4

In PHP and C ++ you can use the printf () function

 printf("$%01.2f", $money); 

Answer 5

In C #, use the currency format specifier: C

string.Format ("{0: C}", someValue);
