I was looking for a SIMPLE way to format currency and account for negative values while not losing
the calculation properties of my number. Here's my function - it's not rocket science,
but maybe can help someone along the way.
<?php
function wims_currency($number) {
if ($number < 0) {
$print_number = "($ " . str_replace('-', '', number_format
($number, 2, ".", ",")) . ")";
} else {
$print_number = "$ " . number_format ($number, 2, ".", ",") ;
}
return $print_number;
}
?>
Sample use:
<?php
$pur_po_total = ($pur_po_total + $pur_item_total);
$print_pur_po_total = wims_currency($pur_po_total);
?>
Returns (for example) $ 44,561.00 or, if a negative ($ 407,250.00)
This way, I use my 1st variable for calculations and my 2nd variable for output. I'm sure
there are better ways to do it, but this got me back on track.
