Alternative to money_format() Function in PHP on Windows Platform

Question

I am using the money_format() function in PHP, which gives the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format()
         


        

Answer 1

I would suggest taking a look into NumberFormatter using NumberFormatter::CURRENCY and locale.

Also Laravel number_format($price, 2) function is super useful.

Note, also useful functional that seems to contain similar format:

    }
}

And don't forget to check if the function exist!

if (!function_exists('money_format')) { //... }
