note 93893 added to function.number-format

Because I had a lot of problems with number_format, here is a working, simple and small replacement: function FormatNumber($number, $decimals = 0, $thousand_separator = ' ', $decimal_point = '.') { $tmp1 = round((float) $number, $decimals); while (($tmp2 = preg_replace('/(\d+)(\d\d\d)/', '\1 \2', $tmp1)) != $tmp1) $tmp1 = $tmp2; return strtr($tmp1, array(' ' => $thousand_separator, '.' => $decimal_point)); } echo FormatNumber(-913578.1415, 2, '.', ',') . "\n"; ---- Server IP: 92.43.200.200 Probable Submitter: 213.134.3.173 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93893 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93893 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93893 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
