I have a form in which users can enter prices for items. Ideally I want the user to be able to add prices in whatever method feels best to them and also for readability. I then need to convert this to a standard float so that my web service can calculate costs etc.

The part I’m struggling with is how to take the initial sting/float/int of currency and convert it into a float.

For example:

UK: 1,234.00
FRA: 1 234,00
RANDOM: 1234
RANDOM2: 1234.00

All of those have slightly different formats.

Which I would want to store as:

1234.00

I will then store the result in MySQL database as a DECIMAL.

Any help would be great.
