Where do I add int $decimals = 0? - php

Question

I need to make this print a number with two decimal points, I believe I use this piece of code int $decimals = 0 but I don't know where I need to add it.
Here's the code I have:
<?php
$tempPrice = str_replace(',',"", $price); //gets rid of ","
$tempPrice = substr($tempPrice,2); //removes currency from the front
$tempPrice = floatval($tempPrice); //converts to double from string
if($tempPrice > 1000)
{
echo '£' . round(($tempPrice*0.038), 2) . ' per month';
}
else
{
echo 'Lease to buy price not available on this product';
}
?>
Thanks

You can use money_format() php function. http://php.net/money_format
for example in your case
<?php
$tempPrice = str_replace(',',"", $price); //gets rid of ","
$tempPrice = substr($tempPrice,2); //removes currency from the front
$tempPrice = floatval($tempPrice); //converts to double from string
// set international format for the en_GB locale
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
if($tempPrice > 1000)
{
echo money_format('%i', $tempPrice ) . " per month";// output->"GBP 1,234.56 per month"
}
else
{
echo 'Lease to buy price not available on this product';
}
?>
in addition you can just use php number_format() http://php.net/number_format on $tempPrice
echo "£ ". number_format($tempPrice ) . " per month";
by default number_format() english notation is used. You can set your own number of decimal points, decimal point setarator and thousands separator
echo "£ ". number_format($tempPrice, 2, ".", "," ) . " per month"; // for $tempPrice=1203.52 output will be "£ 1,203.56 per month"
