[SOLVED] php money symbol

[dlf1987]

Hi,

 

I dont know if it will work in PHP, but is there a way to do sumthing like this asp code

 

<%= FormatCurrency((rsorders.Fields.Item("OrderShipping").Value), 2, -2, -2, -2) %>

but with php?

 

In ASP it formats it as money, it also shows the $ (dollar sign) in front, and two decimals at the end

 

Thanks

$number = 1234.56;

setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo money_format('%i', $number) . "\n"; 

 

I tried this, but it gives me a error " Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format() "

Ahhh, sorry I forgot to mention that money_format is undefined in Windows and any other systems which do not have the C library function strfmon().  You'll have to settle for: http://us2.php.net/number_format.

 

Best,
