How to display Currency in Indian Numbering Format in PHP

Question

I have a question about formatting the Rupee currency (Indian Rupee - INR).

For example, numbers here are represented as:

1
10
100
1,000
10,000
1,00,00         


        

Answer 1

You have so many options but money_format can do the trick for you.

Example:

$amount = '100000';
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_IN');
$amount = money_format('%!i', $amount);
echo $amount;

Output:

1,00,000.00

Note:

The function money_format() is only defined if the system has strfmon capabilities. For example, Windows does not, so money_format() is undefined in Windows.

Pure PHP Implementation - Works on any system:

$amount = '10000034000';
$amount = moneyFormatIndia( $amount );
echo $amount;

function moneyFormatIndia($num) {
    $explrestunits = "" ;
    if(strlen($num)>3) {
        $lastthree = substr($num, strlen($num)-3, strlen($num));
        $restunits = substr($num, 0, strlen($num)-3); // extracts the last three digits
        $restunits = (strlen($restunits)%2 == 1)?"0".$restunits:$restunits; // explodes the remaining digits in 2's formats, adds a zero in the beginning to maintain the 2's grouping.
        $expunit = str_split($restunits, 2);
        for($i=0; $i
