note 77037 added to function.number-format

To address the problems number_format has when dealing with big numbers I've created my own Number_Format method, it acts the same way as number_format and takes the same arguments but deals with numbers as strings solving the problems above referred. (The other methods are available at http://www.alixaxel.com/wordpress/2007/05/19/php-math-library/) function Number_Format($number, $decimal_precision = 0, $decimals_separator = '.', $thousands_separator = ',') { if ($this->Is_Negative($number)) { $negative = true; $number = str_replace('-', '', $number); } $number = explode('.', str_replace(' ', '', $number)); $number[0] = str_split(strrev($number[0]), 3); $total_segments = count($number[0]); for ($i = 0; $i < $total_segments; $i++) { $number[0][$i] = strrev($number[0][$i]); } $number[0] = implode($thousands_separator, array_reverse($number[0])); if ($negative === true) { $number[0] = '-' . $number[0]; } if (!empty($number[1])) { $number[1] = $this->Round($number[1], $decimal_precision); } $number = implode($decimals_separator, $number); return $number; } I hope this is useful for someone! ---- Server IP: 81.92.200.26 Probable Submitter: 87.196.44.85 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77037 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77037 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77037 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
