Math Datatypes for Currency


nfr

Recommended Posts


Hello -

I am trying to build a small accounting system using php/mySQL. What datatypes should I use to store amounts, i.e. monetary values? Also, how can I format the amounts so that they are presented as €xx.yy and not €xx.y if the y value is 40 cents for example?

Regards,

Neil.
