Convert Dollar String To Double

[JustinK101]

I have a string like: '$2,343.23' I need to make it a standard double, so basically remove $ and , and .

 

Is there an easy way of doing this?

str_replace(mixed $search  , mixed $replace  , mixed $subject);

 

??

 

<?php
$dollar = "$2,343.23";
$dollar = str_replace("$","",$dollar);
$dollar = str_replace(",","",$dollar);
$dollar = str_replace(".","",$dollar);
echo $dollar;//should print 234323
?>

 

I think you can do this as well

 

<?php
$dollar = "$2,343.23";
$replace = array("$",".",",");
$dollar = str_replace($replace,"",$dollar);
echo $dollar;//should print 234323
?>

Using regex you can, since I am not good at regex here is an alternative method.

 

<?php
    $number = '$2,343.23';
    $number = str_replace('$', '', $number);
    $number = str_replace('.', '', $number);
    $number = str_replace(',', '', $number);
    echo $number;
?>

 

Not the best, but yea without learning regex it works =).

probably a better way, but here's my take:

 

<?php
   $x = "$2,343.23";
   sscanf($x,"$%d,%d.%d",$num[0],$num[1],$num[2]);
   $y = implode('',$num);
   echo $y;
?>

another:

 

<?php
   $x = "$1,345.45";
   $x = preg_replace("/[$,.]/","",$x);
   echo $x;
?>
