I have a Postgre DB and one of these values are money (type, ofc).
When I do the Select using PHP, the output of that query is in this format:
Example: €1,00
I'm looking for something to change this format to this other:
Example: 1,00€.
What can I change in my query to get last one result?
Thanks!
Fastest way in PHP is to use str_replace :)
$cash = '€1,00';
$cash = str_replace('€','',$cash) . '€';
echo $cash;
But a better option is to change your DB field type to some numeric type and just to add the ' €' sign where you want it..
You may do this replace inside your DB SELECT statement but I think that its better to do that inside your PHP..
If its stored in database just like a number without currency you could just use function number_format($x,y,'.','')
where
$x is your number
y is number of numbers behind decimal separator
'.' - means decimal separator is .
'' -means there is no separator between thousands
so u just format your number in a way u want and add "euro" sign.
if its price there is a function called money format :
u must use it with locales of country the currency u want fe. :
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'de_DE');
echo money_format('%.2n', $your_variable);
this means u use currency of germany. '%.2n' means your output is from $yourvariable and have 2 decimalnumbers
And to the thing of 'euro' sign after or before number. It depends of locales. I think slovak or spanish has euro sign after number.
Try it.
This should provide you what you need, and be flexible across all currencies:
$value = '$4265';
if (!is_numeric($value[0])) {
$value = substr($value, 1) . $value[0];
}

when i get data from database and export it as a csv file i have following issues :
the leading zero of the numbers dosnt show
big numbers shows like this -> 1E+12
how to force MS Excel to show all of my data as string by PHP
You can use double quotes contain the numbers, like this:
if(is_numeric($column)) $column = '"'.$number.'"';
This isn't a MySQL issue, it's an Excel thing.

But this question is more MS Office related than programming.
(or as comments suggested, use a file format that carries display formatting info, such as .xls)
I format it as a string by concatenate it with spaces at its start and end.
CONCAT(" ", database_number, " ") AS "Number For Excel".
Kai's answer didn't quite work for me. I ended up CONCATing an equals sign (still with the double quotes on either end) to the front and got the desired result. Our users wanted to be able to copy and paste the number straight out of Excel into our UI.
CONCAT('="',too_long_number_field,'"')
You can use number_formate() function to convert ...

Function : number_format()
Syntax : number_format ( float $number , int $decimals = 0 , string $dec_point = ‘.’ , string $thousands_sep = ‘,’ )
Example to convert 6.90743E+11 to number use below code
number_format(6.90743E+11,0,'','') // outputs 690743000000
I would like to insert this type of number format in to my database.
$value = "20.000,00";
I tried with FLOAT and DOUBLE, but they can't handle this. Only option left that I know which works is VARCHAR?
Although if I do this when I am working with the numbers later and tries to subtract number from each other:
$value2 = "15.933,50";
$calc = $value - $value2;
$calc is now 4.067, it should be 4.066,50 - how can this be correct?
For financial numbers, you should use the DECIMAL type. It has a fixed precision and isn't subject to the rounding problems of floating point numbers.
Never store a money number in a VARCHAR or a FLOAT.
If you want to introduce in the database your $value, you must parse it so that you can introduce the number :
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'da_DK', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
$num = $fmt->parse($value, NumberFormatter::TYPE_INT32)
To display a number you got from your DB as "20.000,00", you may use
$display_value = $fmt->format($num);
EDIT :
If you can't use a NumberFormatter, you may use this to build a string that you can introduce in a DECIMAL field (in a float one too but don't) :
$v = str_replace(',', '.', str_replace('.', '', $value));
This changes "20.000,00" to "20000.00" which the database can understand.
But it's always dangerous to ask a database to parse the strings as numbers (you may change the locale later). I'd recommend you to parse the number in PHP and to explicitly specify the locale.
I have used this code :
$result = number_format(round(15.5, 1), 2);
Written in my old post :
PHP - Commercial round
I have now problems with the values like : 1,597.30
I get the price as 1.00
How can I do to get the make the round and get the good price format with the prices that have number with thousands.
Never store a formatted number.
Always store it in its original format: 1597.30 This is the only format that works for calculations and formatting.
Use number_format() only for outputting the number.
You could solve this issue using the following code:
$price = '1,597.30';
$new_price = floatval(str_replace(',', '', $price));
$result = number_format(round($new_price, 1), 2);
Remove comma and all other formating (except the dot) from your numbers, otherwise comma will be used as decimal separator.
On a new project I work on I have data in CSV format to import into a mysql table. One of the columns is a price field which stores currency in the european format ie. 345,83.
The isssue I have is storing this decimal seperator. In most European currencies the decimal seperator is "," but when I try to insert a decimal number into a field (ex. 345,83), I get the following error: "Data truncated for column 'column_name' at row 'row #'". If I use '.' instead of ',' it works fine. Could you please help me with, how to store this format in mysql?
you can store it as a regular decimal field in the database, and format the number european style when you display it
edit: just added an example of how it might be achieved
$european_numbers = array('123.345,78', '123 456,78', ',78');
foreach($european_numbers as $number) {
echo "$number was converted to ".convert_european_to_decimal($number)."\n";
// save in database now
}
function convert_european_to_decimal($number) {
// i am sure there are better was of doing this, but this is nice and simple example
$number = str_replace('.', '', $number); // remove fullstop
$number = str_replace(' ', '', $number); // remove spaces
$number = str_replace(',', '.', $number); // change comma to fullstop
return $number;
}
Use number_format or money_format, it's pretty much what you preffer.
It's worse than you think. The number 1234.56 may be written in Europe as:
1234,56
1 234,56 (space as a group separator)
1.234,56 (dot as a group separator)
In .net the number parser can works according to a given culture, so if you know the format it does the hard work for you. I'm sure you can find a PHP equivalent, it'd save you a lot of trouble.
You could import the currency field into a VARCHAR column and then copy this column into a DECIMAL column while replacing the , by a . in all rows using MySQL string-manipulation-functions.
UPDATE <<table>>
SET <<decimal-currency-col>> = REPLACE(<<varchar-currency-col>>, ',', '.');
Some data types do not have a direct
correlation between SQL Server or
Access and MySQL. One example would be
the CURRENCY data type: MySQL does not
(yet) have a CURRENCY data type, but
creating a column with the definition
DECIMAL(19,4) serves the same purpose.
While MSSQL defaults to Unicode
character types such as nCHAR and
nVARCHAR, MySQL does not so tightly
bind character sets to field types,
instead allowing for one set of
character types which can be bound to
any number of character sets,
including Unicode.

You could also consider multiplying it by 100 and storing it as INT.
Before inserting the price to the DB:
$price = (int)$price*100;
After receiving price from the DB:
$price = number_format($price, 2, ',', ' ');
Try replacing the "," with "."?
$price = str_replace(",", ".", $price);
I have a cell with a great number, like 650400300. I need to SELECT this number and separate to receive next format - 650,400.300. Would you mind to help me, please. Thanks in advance! I'm using PHP and MySQL.
UPDATE: Now I think the correct way to do so is to use PHP, but thank you "hd1" your answer is perfectly fits and works correctly with what I asked here.
UPDATE2: I don't need to add zero's to the end, but I need to split the whole number into peaces with commas and dots.
Use the MySQL format function to do this:
MySQL> SELECT FORMAT(12332.2,0);
12,332
Let's assume you want php and not turning mysql into a gui tool, then
number_format($number)
Doing this with MySQL is not really nice, it is supposed to give you what is in the database. If the database holds an integer, MySQL should give you an integer.
You can do it with php, after you have fetched the data using number_format:
$formatted_number = number_format($number);
Note:
First, you must fetch that data:
Then use substr_replace to format the number
Code:
$number = "650400300";
$number = substr_replace($number, ",", 3, 0);
$number = substr_replace($number, ".", 7,0); /* RETURNS 650,400.300 */
Using number_format() to your given example (650400300) will give this result:
$number = number_format($number); /* 650,400,300 */
