note 80281 added to function.number-format

I have to verify price data from several formats, eg: - 12.345,67 (German) - 12,345.67 (English) - 12 345,67 (French) - 12'345,67 (Swiss) Here is a quick function which helps me out of all this format mess, but please not the I only check for: - positive values - max 2 digits on the right side (.12) function mk_price_to_float($price){ $price = trim($price); if(preg_match("~^([0-9]+|(?:(?:[0-9]{1,3}([.,' ]))+[0-9]{3})+)(([.,])[0-9]{1,2})?$~", $price, $r)){ if(!empty($r['2'])){ $pre = preg_replace("~[".$r['2']."]~", "", $r['1']); }else{ $pre = $r['1']; } if(!empty($r['4'])){ $post = ".".preg_replace("~[".$r['4']."]~", "", $r['3']); }else{ $post = false; } $form_price = $pre.$post; return $form_price; } return false; } This code is used at http://www.produkte24.com/ and http://www.who-sells-it.com/ and works like a charm. ---- Server IP: 88.81.249.248 Probable Submitter: 92.112.155.5 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80281 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80281 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80281 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
