Re: number_format

Quoting Floyd Resler <fresler@adex-intl.com>:

In the previous version of PHP we were using, I could pass a string to number_format and it would just change it to a 0 without complaint. With 5.3.6 I get an "expects double" error. I don't suppose there's a way to make it work like it used to??? I'm dealing with really old code that wasn't very well structured.

The way I would get around this would be to create a function like this: function my_number_format($number, $decimals = 0, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',') { $number += 0; //convert value to a number. return number_format($number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep); } The just do a global replace of number_format with my_number_format. That should work, although I haven't tested it... Ken
