Let's say we got the number $inp = 1234.56
By using
<?php
return number_format($inp, 2, ',', '.');
?>
you can get the German format 1.234,56. (Comma as decimal separator and point as thousand separator)
But I have a problem with that: I want to add commas as thousand separators and change the
decimal-separator (this could also be done with str_replace), but I do not want to change the amount
of fractional digits!
But since the 2nd argument of number_format is necessary to enter the 3rd and 4th argument, this
cannot be done with number_format. You have to change the fractional digits with this function.
But I want that 1234.56 changes into 1.234,56 and 1234.567890123456 changes into 1.234,567890123456
So, I created following function, that doesn't change the amount of fractional digits:
<?php
function my_number_format($number, $dec_point, $thousands_sep)
{
$tmp = explode('.', $number);
$out = number_format($tmp[0], 0, $dec_point, $thousands_sep);
if (isset($tmp[1])) $out .= $dec_point.$tmp[1];
return $out;
}
?>
