PHP 8.4.1 Released!

money_format

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

money_formatFormattazione di un numero come stringa monetaria

Descrizione

money_format(string $format, float $number): string

money_format() restituisce una versione formattata di number. Questa funzione è un'interfaccia alla funzione C strfmon(), con la differenza che questa funzione converte un solo numero alla volta.

Nota:

La funzione money_format() esiste solo se il sistema suppporta strfmon. Ad esempio, Windows non lo supporta perciò la funzione money_format() non è definita su Windows.

LA specifica del formato consiste nella seguente sequenza:

  • un carattere %

  • un flag opzionale flags

  • la lunghezza del campo, opzionale

  • la precisione a sinistra, opzionale

  • la precisione a destra, opzionale

  • un carattere di conversione, obbligatorio

Flag

Si possono utilizzare uno o più dei seguenti flag:

=f

Il carattere = seguito da un singolo carattere (singolo byte) f è utilizzato come carattere di riempimento numerico. Il carattere di default è lo spazio.

^

Disabilita l'utilizzo del raggruppamento dei caratetrei (come definito nelle impostazioni locali).

+ oppure (

Specifica lo stile di formattazione per i numeri positivi e negativi. Se si utilizza +, sarà utilizzato l'equivalente valore locale per + e -. Se si utilizza (, i valori negativi saranno racchiusi tra parentesi. Se non si da specifica, il default è +.

!

Sopprime il simbolo della moneta nella stringa di output.

-

Se presente, rende tutti i campi giustificati a sinistra (riempiti a a destra), il default prevede i campi allineati a destra (riempiti a sinistra).

Dimensioni del campo

w

Una stringa numerica che specifica la lunghezza minima del campo. Il campo sarà allineato a destra a meno di non avere impostato il flag -. Il valore di default è 0 (zero).

Precisione a sinistra

#n

Sono attesi un numero massimo di (n) numeri a sinistra del carattere decimale (es. il punto decimale). Solitamente si utilizza per mantenere allineato l'output nella medesima colonna, utilizzando il carattere di riempimento, se il numero delle cifre è inferiore a n. Se il numero delle cifre è superiore a n, questa specifica viene ignorata.

Se il raggruppamento delle cifre non è soppresso tramite ^, saranno inseriti i separatori di raggruppamento prima dei caratteri di riempimento (se presenti). I separatori di gruppo non saranno applicati ai caratteri di riempimento, anche se il carattere di riempimento è un numero.

Per garantire l'allineamento, ogni carattere che, nella stringa formattata, appare prima o dopo il numero, tipo il simbolo della moneta o il segno, viene riempito con gli spazi necessari affinché la corrispondente stringa risultante da un valore positivo o negativo abbia la medesima lunghezza.

Precisione di destra

.p

Un punto seguito da un numero di cifre (p) dopo il carattere decimale. Se il valore di p è 0 (zero), il carattere decimale e le cifre alla sua destra saranno omesse. Se non vi è indicazione della precisione a destra, il default sarà preso della impostazioni locali. L'importo sarà arrontondato alle cifre decimali richieste prima di essere formattato.

Caratteri di conversione

i

Il numero sarà formattato in base alle impostazioni internazionali locali (es. le impostazioni locali USA: USD 1,234.56).

n

Il numero sarà formattato in base alle locali impostazioni nazionali di moneta (es. per de_DE: DM1.234,56).

%

Restituisce il carattere %.

Nota:

La categoria LC_MONETARY delle impostazioni locali influisce sul comportamento di questa funzione. Utilizzare setlocale() per impostare il default appropriato prima di utilizzare questa funzione.

I caratteri prima e dopo la stringa di formattazione saranno restituiti immutati.

Example #1 Esempio di uso di money_format()

Per illustrare il funzionamento della funzione utilizzeremo diversi formati di impostazioni locali.

<?php

$number
= 1234.56;

// stampa nel formato internazionale per l'impostazione en_US
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo
money_format('%i', $number) . "\n";
// USD 1,234.56

// Fromato italiano con 2 cifre decimali`
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'it_IT');
echo
money_format('%.2n', $number) . "\n";
// L. 1.234,56

// Numeri negativi
$number = -1234.5672;

// Formato nazionale US, Utilizzo di () per i numeri negativi
// e 10 cifre di precisione a sinistra
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo
money_format('%(#10n', $number) . "\n";
// ($ 1,234.57)

// Simile al precente con 2 cifre di precisione a destra
// e '*' come carattere di riempimento
echo money_format('%=*(#10.2n', $number) . "\n";
// ($********1,234.57)

// Giustificazione a sinistra, con 14 posizioni di lunghezza, 8 cifre di
// precisione a sinistra, 2 di precisione a destra, senza carattere di raggruppamento
// e utilizzando l'impostazione locale de_DE.
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'de_DE');
echo
money_format('%=*^-14#8.2i', 1234.56) . "\n";
// DEM 1234,56****

// Qualche carattere prima e dopo la specifica di formattazione
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
$fmt = 'The final value is %i (after a 10%% discount)';
echo
money_format($fmt, 1234.56) . "\n";
// The final value is GBP 1,234.56 (after a 10% discount)

?>

Vedere anche setlocale(), number_format(),sprintf(), printf() e sscanf().

For most of us in the US, we don't want to see a "USD" for our currency symbol, so '%i' doesn't cut it. Here's what I used that worked to get what most people expect to see for a number format.

$number = 123.4
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US.UTF-8');
money_format('%.2n', $number);

output:
$123.40

That gives me a dollar sign at the beginning, and 2 digits at the end.

In Rafael M. Salvioni function localeconv(); returns an invalid array in my Windows XP SP3 running PHP 5.4.13 so to prevent the Warning Message: implode(): Invalid arguments passed i just add the $locale manually. For other languages just fill the array with the correct settings.

<?

$locale = array(
'decimal_point' => '.',
'thousands_sep' => '',
'int_curr_symbol' => 'EUR',
'currency_symbol' => '€',
'mon_decimal_point' => ',',
'mon_thousands_sep' => '.',

If money_format doesn't seem to be working properly, make sure you are defining a valid locale. For example, on Debian, 'en_US' is not a valid locale - you need 'en_US.UTF-8' or 'en_US.ISO-8559-1'.

This was frustrating me for a while. Debian has a list of valid locales at /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED; find yours there if it's not working properly.

To drop zero value decimals, use the following:
<?php
/*
Same as php number_format(), but if ends in .0, .00, .000, etc... , drops the decimals altogether
Returns string type, rounded number - same as php number_format()):
Examples:
number_format_drop_zero_decimals(54.378, 2) ==> '54.38'
number_format_drop_zero_decimals(54.00, 2) ==> '54'
*/
function number_format_drop_zero_decimals($n, $n_decimals)
{
return ((
floor($n) == round($n, $n_decimals)) ? number_format($n) : number_format($n, $n_decimals));
}
?>
Results:
number_format_drop_zero_decimals(54.377, 2) ==> 54.38
number_format_drop_zero_decimals('54.377', 2) ==> 54.38
number_format_drop_zero_decimals(54.377, 3) ==> 54.377

<?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US'); ?>

Found that using:

<?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US.UTF-8'); ?>

This function divides integer value by commas. F.e.

<?php

echo formatMoney(10059240.42941, true); # 10,059,240.43
echo formatMoney(13245); # 13,245

function formatMoney($number, $fractional=false) {
if (
$fractional) {
$number = sprintf('%.2f', $number);
}
while (
true) {
$replaced = preg_replace('/(-?\d+)(\d\d\d)/', '$1,$2', $number);
if (

Improvement to Rafael M. Salvioni's solution for money_format on Windows: when no currency symbol is selected, in the formatting, the minus sign was also lost when the locale puts it in position 3 or 4. Changed $currency = ''; to: $currency = $cprefix .$csuffix;

function money_format($format, $number) {

Double check that money_format() is defined on any version of PHP you plan your code to run on. You might be surprised.

For example, it worked on my Linux box where I code, but not on servers running BSD 4.11 variants. (This is presumably because strfmon is not defined - see note at the top of teis page). It's not just a windows/unix issue.

Rafael M. Salvioni's code has a small bug in it when the value is positive and the format provided contains a ( flag. The value should only be surrounded in parenthesis when the value is negative. This should fix it:

Hi,

For South Asian Currencies, this function could be a handy one.

It will handle negative as well as float(Paise).

<?php
function my_money_format($number)
{
if(
strstr($number,"-"))
{
$number = str_replace("-","",$number);
$negative = "-";
}

$split_number = @explode(".",$number);

$rupee = $split_number[0];
$paise = @$split_number[1];

if(@
strlen($rupee)>3)
{
$hundreds = substr($rupee,strlen($rupee)-3);
$thousands_in_reverse = strrev(substr($rupee,0,strlen($rupee)-3));
for(
$i=0; $i<(strlen($thousands_in_reverse)); $i=$i+2)
{
$thousands .= $thousands_in_reverse[$i].$thousands_in_reverse[$i+1].",";
}
$thousands = strrev(trim($thousands,","));
$formatted_rupee = $thousands.",".$hundreds;

}
else
{
$formatted_rupee = $rupee;
}

if((int)
$paise>0)
{
$formatted_paise = ".".substr($paise,0,2);
}

return
$negative.$formatted_rupee.$formatted_paise;

}
?>

Thanks,

Consider formatting currency for some South Asian countries that use ##,##,###.## money format.
The following code generates something like Rs. 4,54,234.00 and so on.

<?php
function convertcash($num, $currency){
if(
strlen($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; $i<sizeof($expunit); $i++){
$explrestunits .= (int)$expunit[$i].","; // creates each of the 2's group and adds a comma to the end
}

$thecash = $explrestunits.$lastthree;
} else {
$thecash = $convertnum;
}

return
$currency.$thecash.".00"; // writes the final format where $currency is the currency symbol.
}
?>

now call the function as convertcash($row['price'], 'Rs '); // that's the price from the database I called using an Indian Rupees prefix where the price has to be a plain number format, say something like 454234.

If you get "EUR" instead of the euro symbol, set the locale to utf8 charset like this:

<?php
setlocale
(LC_MONETARY, 'de_DE.utf8');
echo
money_format('%+n', 1234.56);
?>

This is a handy little bit of code I just wrote, as I was not able to find anything else suitable for my situation.
This will handle monetary values that are passed to the script by a user, to reformat any comma use so that it is not broken when it passes through an input validation system that checks for a float.

It is not foolproof, but will handle the common input as most users would input it, such as 1,234,567 (outputs 1234567) or 1,234.00 (outputs 1234.00), even handles 12,34 (outputs 12.34), I expect it would work with negative numbers, but have not tested it, as it is not used for that in my situation.

This worked when other options such as money_format() were not suitable or possible.

<?php
///////////////
// BEGIN CODE convert all price amounts into well formatted values

This is suitable for the English usage, it may need tweaking to work with other types.

Using the money_format function with float values which have more than two decimal digits can result in rounding errors.
Maybe this function will help you to avoid these failures:

<?php
// A product with a base price of 12.95
$price = 1295;

// The quantity is also an integer but translated it would be 11.91
$quantity = 1191;

// Result: 154.2345
// It's the same like 12.95 * 11.91
$sum = ($price / 100) * ($quantity /100);

// Wrong result: 154.23
money_format('%!i', $sum);

// Wrong result: 154.23
number_format($sum, 2);

// Wrong result: 154.23
bcmul($price / 100, $quantity / 100, 2);

// Correct result : 154.24
money_format_rounded('%!i', $sum);

function money_format_rounded($format, $number, $maxPrecision = 2, $roundingType = \PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP)

$strlen = strlen($number);
if (
$strlen === 0) {

money_format($format, $number);
}

$length = $strlen - strrpos($number, '.') - 1;
if (
$length <= 0) {
return
money_format($format, $number);
}

$rounded = $number;
for (
$i = --$length; $i >= $maxPrecision; $i--) {
$rounded = round($rounded, $i, $roundingType);

Be aware, since PHP 7.3 this method is deprecated and from PHP 7.4 this launch a deprecated error, so, setup your PHP web server to untrack E_DEPRECATED error reporting.
