Question

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

Answer 1

 function toMoney($val,$symbol='$',$r=2)
{


    $n = $val; 
    $c = is_float($n) ? 1 : number_format($n,$r);
    $d = '.';
    $t = ',';
    $sign = ($n < 0) ? '-' : '';
    $i = $n=number_format(abs($n),$r); 
    $j = (($j = strlen($i)) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0; 

   return  $symbol.$sign .($j ? substr($i,0, $j) + $t : '').preg_replace('/(\d{3})(?=\d)/',"$1" + $t,substr($i,$j)) ;

}

echo toMoney(45); ; 

output:$45.00
