Alternative to money_format() function

If you have the Intl extension, you can use

• NumberFormatter::formatCurrency — Format a currency value according to the formatter rules.

Example from Manual

$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "EUR")."\n";echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "RUR")."\n";$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'ru_RU', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "EUR")."\n";echo $fmt->formatCurrency(1234567.891234567890000, "RUR")."\n";

Output

1.234.567,89 €1.234.567,89 RUR1 234 567,89€1 234 567,89р.

Also see my answer on how to parse that formatted money string back into a float:

• PHP: unformat money

Keep it simple!

sprintf('%01.2f', $val);

<?phpfunction toMoney($val,$symbol='$',$r=2){    $n = $val;     $c = is_float($n) ? 1 : number_format($n,$r);    $d = '.';    $t = ',';    $sign = ($n < 0) ? '-' : '';    $i = $n=number_format(abs($n),$r);     $j = (($j = $i.length) > 3) ? $j % 3 : 0;    return  $symbol.$sign .($j ? substr($i,0, $j) + $t : '').preg_replace('/(\d{3})(?=\d)/',"$1" + $t,substr($i,$j)) ;}echo toMoney(9856478521456.256);?>

try this the out put of above code is "$9,856,478,521,456.26"
