DjMikeS Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 From the manual: Note: The function money_format() is only defined if the system has strfmon capabilities. For example, Windows does not, so money_format() is undefined in Windows. Are you running this on a Windows host? And what's up with: echo money_format(table_primary); It's not even a variable... And lastly...we can't smell your problem, so please tell us what is going wrong and use the php code tags....

tommy445 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 OK, I have successfully called data (numbers) from the data base using <? echo $row['table_primary']; ?> My problem is that javascript will not format the numbers unless its in a textbox. How do I format the echo string to show decimals and commas. This must be complex as i see similar questions that went unresolved. Thanks for attempting.

DjMikeS Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You haven't answered my question. Are you running money_format on a windows host or not? And use the php code tags....that's the second time...

tommy445 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 sorry, running 2.2.11 (Unix) php 4.6??? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148495-solved-number-formatting/#findComment-779870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjMikeS Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Okay, well the piece of code that you gave us is wrong... You might want to check that out before writing of money_format... First,you haven't specified a variable because <? echo money_format(table_primary) ?> table primary is not a variable. Secondly, you haven't specified a conversion character.... <? echo money_format('%i', $row['table_primary']) ?> Read the manual!! http://www.php.net/money_format Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148495-solved-number-formatting/#findComment-780127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy445 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks again for your help, I was able to come up with the following which displays the correct number and 2 decimal points, however I am unable to find the comma solution. <?php printf ("%01.2f", $client_co_union_dues); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148495-solved-number-formatting/#findComment-780372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
