Using money_format() with Windows PHP
Here is a little workaround for those of you that have windows boxes and are using code that already makes use of the money_format() function.
My code was only using it to format money figures visually, so I cant vouch for it when performing calculations with it. Also all the money_format() calls in the code im working with were of the form money_format('%4n', $variable_name); and I am working with GBP currency.
To be honest I only have a vague idea of what I did, but it has the required visual pay off except for the fact you lose the comma's from large figures.
To use it just put the snippet into a header file or the main php file before the first time money_format would be called.
<?php
if(!function_exists('money_format'))
{
function money_format($format, $number)
{
return '£' . sprintf("%01.2f", $number);
}
}
?>
