Help with POST inputs.

[DBookatay]

I have a form that uses dollar increments in several different input fields.

I need help so that if a user does not add a "." the form will automatically do it form them before the form is inserted into the dB.

 

Meaning, if the field is: $100.00, and the user only types "$100," the form will do the rest.

And if the user types :"$100.00" nothing will happen...

 

Some of the fields in the form are:

sold_price = '$_POST[sold_price]',
tax = '$_POST[tax]',
doc = '$_POST[doc]',
reg = '$_POST[reg]',
down = '$_POST[down]',
rate = '$_POST[rate]',
pymtAmt = '$_POST[pymtAmt]',

 

Any help would be awesome...

Does anyone have a working example?

I've read http://us.php.net/number_format, but it doesn't explain how to do what I want to accomplish.

[darkfreaks]

$totalamount=number_format($totalamount, '.');

[DBookatay]

$totalamount=number_format($totalamount, '.');

 

I tried your code, but it puts commas into the post, which will pose a problem.

Is there another way to do it?

$soldAmt = number_format($_POST['soldAmt'], '.');

Anyone?

 

[darkfreaks]

Will not work:

 

$soldAmt = number_format($_POST['soldAmt'], '.');

);

 

 

Will work:

 

<?php

$soldAmt = $_POST['soldamt'];
$soldAmt = number_format($soldamt,'.');?>

[DBookatay]

It's still adding comma's

[darkfreaks]

doesnt help can you show me what it is doing? ???

[darkfreaks]

made some adjustments

 

<?php

$soldAmt = number_format($soldamt,2,'.',' ');?>

should out put $100.00

made some adjustments

 

<?php

$soldAmt = number_format($soldamt,2,'.',' ');?>

should out put $100.00

 

Almost there... It is doing what I need, but its adding a space:

I typed 1200, and it outputed 1 200.00

[darkfreaks]

take  ' ' out and the last comma problem  solved

[DBookatay]

take  ' ' out and the last comma problem  solved

 

$soldamt = $_POST['soldAmt'];
$soldAmt = number_format($soldamt,2,'.');

 

Now nothing gets outputted

 

[darkfreaks]

ok put it back and now put

<?php
$totalamt=trim($totalamt); /// will remove whitespace ?>

[jitesh]

<?php

$number = 1234;

echo $english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');


?> 

[darkfreaks]

oh my bad it should be '' not ' '

[darkfreaks]

should work right:

<?php
$totalamt=number_format($totalamt ,2, '.', '');?>
