note 52311 added to function.number-format

I ran across an issue where I wanted to keep the entered precision of a real value, without arbitrarily rounding off what the user had submitted. I figured it out with a quick explode on the number before formatting. I could then format either side of the decimal. <?php function number_format_unlimited_precision($number,$decimal = '.') { $broken_number = explode($decimal,$number); return number_format($broken_number[0]).$decimal.$broken_number[1]; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52311 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52311&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52311&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52311&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52311&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52311&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52311&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
