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 use this function:

function formatPrice($number, array $options = [])
{
    $options = array_replace([
        'alwaysShowDecimals' => true,
        'nbDecimals' => 2,
        'decPoint' => ".",
        'thousandSep' => "",
        'moneySymbol' => "€",
        'moneyFormat' => "vs", // v represents the value, s represents the money symbol
    ], $options);
    extract($options);

    $v = number_format($number, $nbDecimals, $decPoint, $thousandSep);
    if (false === $alwaysShowDecimals && $nbDecimals > 0) {
        $p = explode($decPoint, $v);
        $dec = array_pop($p);
        if (0 === (int)$dec) {
            $v = implode('', $p);
        }
    }
    $ret = str_replace([
        'v',
        's',
    ], [
        $v,
        $moneySymbol,
    ], $moneyFormat);
    return $ret;

}

And use it like this:

$numbers = [
    1500,
    90,
    17.52,
    3650.95,
];

$options = [
    'alwaysShowDecimals' => true,
    'nbDecimals' => 2,
    'decPoint' => ".",
    'thousandSep' => "",
    'moneySymbol' => "€",
    'moneyFormat' => "vs", // v represents the value, s represents the money symbol
];
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
    echo formatPrice($number, $options);
    echo "
";
}
/**
 * output:
 * 
 * 1500.00€
 * 90.00€
 * 17.52€
 * 3650.95€
 *
