money_format

Formats a number as a currency string

string **money_format** string $format float $number

returns a formatted version of

. This function wraps the C library function , with the difference that this implementation converts only one number at a time. money_format``number``strfmon

format The format specification consists of the following sequence:

  - a  character`%`
  • optional flags
  • optional field width
  • optional left precision
  • optional right precision
  • a required conversion character

Flags

   One or more of the optional flags below can be used:
    
   `=`
        The character  followed by a (single byte)
        character  to be used as the numeric fill
        character. The default fill character is space.
       `=`

^Disable the use of grouping characters (as defined by the current locale).

+``( Specify the formatting style for positive and negative numbers. If is used, the locale's equivalent for and will be used. If is used, negative amounts are enclosed in parenthesis. If no specification is given, the default is . +``+``-``(``+

!Suppress the currency symbol from the output string.

-If present, it will make all fields left-justified (padded to the right), as opposed to the default which is for the fields to be right-justified (padded to the left).

Field width

        A decimal digit string specifying a minimum field width. Field will
        be right-justified unless the flag  is used.
        Default value is 0 (zero).
       `-`

Left precision

   `#`The maximum number of digits () expected
        to the left of the decimal character (e.g. the decimal point). It is
        used usually to keep formatted output aligned in the same columns,
        using the fill character if the number of digits is less than
        . If the number of actual digits is
        bigger than , then this specification is
        ignored.


        If grouping has not been suppressed using the 
        flag, grouping separators will be inserted before the fill
        characters (if any) are added. Grouping separators will not be
        applied to fill characters, even if the fill character is a digit.
       `^`

To ensure alignment, any characters appearing before or after the number in the formatted output such as currency or sign symbols are padded as necessary with space characters to make their positive and negative formats an equal length.

Right precision

   `.`A period followed by the number of digits
        () after the decimal character. If the
        value of  is 0 (zero), the decimal
        character and the digits to its right will be omitted. If no right
        precision is included, the default will dictated by the current
        locale in use. The amount being formatted is rounded to the specified
        number of digits prior to formatting.

Conversion characters

   `i`The number is formatted according to the locale's international
        currency format (e.g. for the USA locale: USD 1,234.56).

nThe number is formatted according to the locale's national currency format (e.g. for the de_DE locale: EU1.234,56).

% Returns the character. %

numberThe number to be formatted.

Returns the formatted string. Characters before and after the formatting string will be returned unchanged. Non-numeric causes returning null and emitting . number``E_WARNING

Voorbeeld: Example

We will use different locales and format specifications to illustrate the use of this function.

<?php

$number = 1234.56;

// let's print the international format for the en_US locale
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo money_format('%i', $number) . "\n";
// USD 1,234.56

// Italian national format with 2 decimals`
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'it_IT');
echo money_format('%.2n', $number) . "\n";
// Eu 1.234,56

// Using a negative number
$number = -1234.5672;

// US national format, using () for negative numbers
// and 10 digits for left precision
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo money_format('%(#10n', $number) . "\n";
// ($        1,234.57)

// Similar format as above, adding the use of 2 digits of right
// precision and '*' as a fill character
echo money_format('%=*(#10.2n', $number) . "\n";
// ($********1,234.57)

// Let's justify to the left, with 14 positions of width, 8 digits of
// left precision, 2 of right precision, without the grouping character
// and using the international format for the de_DE locale.
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'de_DE');
echo money_format('%=*^-14#8.2i', 1234.56) . "\n";
// Eu 1234,56****

// Let's add some blurb before and after the conversion specification
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
$fmt = 'The final value is %i (after a 10%% discount)';
echo money_format($fmt, 1234.56) . "\n";
// The final value is  GBP 1,234.56 (after a 10% discount)
