Question

I am trying to display money numbers to users in a readable format.

At the moment the output is like so:

£ .70

I would like to make this

£ 0.70

As it is more readable and there is less chance it would get mistaken for £70

I have tried using money format

$number = money_format("#1", $number);

But I have been unsuccesfull in getting the output I desire.

I then used number_format but that only seems to work with the number itself and not how its displayed i.e. rounding number to Nth decimal place.

I have thought about doing string manipulation like so.

if ($number < 1)
$number  = "0" . $number

However I am hoping SO know a better way to achieve this rather than string manipulation.

Thanks

Answer 1

echo number_format(.44, 2, ',', ' ');

will give you

0,44
