Show decimal point number in PHP - php

Question

I hold decimals in a database using DECIMAL(10,5)
I would like to format these numbers according to a few rules:
A zero decimal should display as 0
Show a long decimal (no trailing zero's) with all of it's numbers
When possible, I would like to only show up to 2 decimal places (when there are trailing zeros)
Here are some examples:
The left side corresponds to how the number is stored in database.
The right number is how I would like to display the number in my application.
0.00000 => 0
0.51231 => 0.51231
0.12000 => 0.12
0.40000 => 0.40
0.67800 => 0.678
12.10000 => 12.10

Answer 1

This will work for you:
function format($x){
if(!(int)substr_replace($x, '', $dpos = strpos($x, '.'), 1))
return 0;
else
return str_pad((rtrim($x, '0')), $dpos + 3, '0');
}

Answer 2

I would utilize the number_format function in php to actually do the formatting after you determine the amount of decimal places to the number has.
Source:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
Example Usage:
$number = 1234.56;
// english notation (default)
$english_format_number = number_format($number);
// 1,235
// French notation
$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56
$number = 1234.5678;
// english notation without thousands separator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57

Answer 3

Well here's one way (I haven't tested it yet so there may be minor errors):
$pattern = '/([0-9]+)\\.{0,1}([0-9]*?)0*$/';
$subject = 12.10000;
$matches = array();
$result = preg_match ($pattern, $subject, $matches);
$number = $matches[1];
if ($matches[2] != 0) {
$number .= '.'.$matches[2];
if ($matches[2] < 10) {
$number .= '0';
}
}
echo $number;
And here's another way (probably a little faster):
$x = 1.000;
$result = (int)$x;
$trimmed = rtrim($x, 0);
if ($trimmed[strlen($trimmed) - 1] != '.') {
if ($trimmed[strlen($trimmed) - 2] == '.') {
$result = $trimmed.'0';
} else {
$result = $trimmed;
}
}
echo $result;

Answer 4

I haven't used it myself, but theres the NumberFormatter class: http://php.net/manual/class.numberformatter.php as part of the Internationalization Functions for this stuff. Using that is a little more involved i think though.

Answer 5

I know this is an old question, but the following quick function I wrote for my own project might help someone looking for this.
function number_format_least_dp($number, $decimal_point = '.', $thousand_seperator = ','){
if (floatval($number) == (int)$number){
$number = number_format($number, 0, $decimal_point, $thousand_seperator);
} else {
$number = rtrim($number, '.0');
$number = number_format($number, strlen(substr(strrchr($number, '.'), 1)), $decimal_point, $thousand_seperator);
}
return $number;
}
