number_format() Cannot Take In Negative Number

[JustinK101]

$myNumb = -123;

I am trying to do number_format($myNumb, 2) which I would expect to return -123.00, but it returns 0.

 

How do I get around this? Thanks.

<?php 
$numb = -123;

echo number_format($numb, 2);        // --> -123.00
?>

??? Can't see a problem

I would do something like...

 

$number = "-12345";

$number = explode("-", $number);

$number = "-" . number_format($number, 2, ',');
