Can't get money_format to work

[Eiolon]

If I put this in a new HTML document:

 

<?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

?>

 

as per the PHP manual, I get:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format() in C:\wamp\www\accounts\test.php on line 7

 

Line 7 is:  echo money_format('%i', $number) . "\n";

 

 

I have tried setting different locales and same result.  Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to work?

Check the php manual and make sure the version of php you're using supports the money_format() function. As I recall, it was added in a fairly recent version.

I am using PHP 5.3.0.  From the manual: (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5).

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.

Jeez, I was thinking it came in around 5.1 or so . . . Anyhow, just noticed you're on WinD'ohs. From the manual also:

 

    Note:

Alright, I guess I'll just use number_format.  Thanks.
