You know those stupid little things you come accross after years in the profession, that make
you say "Golly, if I'd just known that 3 or 4 years ago, it would have saved a ton of work!"
This is one of them.
what is the easiest way to express a formatted dollar amount?
<? echo(sprintf("\$ %.2f",$amount)); ?>
Here is a more robust function:
<? function dispdollars($amount, $style)
{
//slam it!
$amount=doubleval($amount);
if ($amount>=0)
echo(sprintf("\$ %.2f",$amount);
else
if ($style==0)
echo(sprintf("-\$ %.2f",-$amount);
else
echo("<font color=red>".sprintf("\$ %.2f",-$amount)."</font>");
}
Example :
========
<html>
<?
$amount=1.2345;
echo("the value $amount expressed in dollars is ".dispdollars($amount).".");
?>
</html>
