Money formatting

[kawaii1001]

Could you please tell me how to make $Price below format as a money value.


<?php

    $preowned = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');

     foreach ($preowned as $preownedinfo):

    	$ADID=$preownedinfo->ADID;

    	$CompanyID=$preownedinfo->CompanyID;

    	$Category=$preownedinfo->Category;

    	$StockNumber=$preownedinfo->StockNumber;

        $Year=$preownedinfo->Yrs;

        $Make=$preownedinfo->Make;

        $Model=$preownedinfo->Model;

        $Trim=$preownedinfo->Trim;

        $Odometer=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Odometer;

        $ExteriorColor=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->ExteriorColor;

        $InteriorColor=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->InteriorColor;

        $Engine=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Engine;

        $Transmission=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Transmission;

        $Price=$preownedinfo->Price;

        $Options=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Options;

        $AdDescription=$preownedinfo->AdDescription;

        $MainPhoto=$preownedinfo->MainPhoto;

        $AdditionalPhoto=$preownedinfo->AdditionalPhoto;

        $Doors=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Doors;

just use number_format() :

 

$price = number_format($preownedinfo->Price, 2);

I'm getting this message when I've tried that:

Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double

money_format may be a better solution.

Hmmmm. Still getting the same message.  I have it set like this:

 <?php

    $preowned = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');

     foreach ($preowned as $preownedinfo):

    $ADID=$preownedinfo->ADID;

    $CompanyID=$preownedinfo->CompanyID;

    $Category=$preownedinfo->Category;

    $StockNumber=$preownedinfo->StockNumber;

        $Year=$preownedinfo->Yrs;

        $Make=$preownedinfo->Make;

        $Model=$preownedinfo->Model;

        $Trim=$preownedinfo->Trim;

        $Odometer=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Odometer;

        $ExteriorColor=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->ExteriorColor;

        $InteriorColor=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->InteriorColor;

        $Engine=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Engine;

        $Transmission=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Transmission;

        $Price=$preownedinfo->Price;

        $Options=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Options;

        $AdDescription=$preownedinfo->AdDescription;

        $MainPhoto=$preownedinfo->MainPhoto;

        $AdditionalPhoto=$preownedinfo->AdditionalPhoto;

        $Doors=$preownedinfo->ExtraField->ContentEN->Doors;

        $price = '$' . money_format($Price, 2, '.', ',');

It's probably a string.

$Price = number_format((float)$preownedinfo->Price, 2);
