php function to convert numbers into currency format

Question

PHP number_format is rounding?

I need a PHP function to convert numbers into currency format like so:

444 output 444.00
444.156 output 444.15
0 output 0.00

It should not round off the last decimal digit.

You are looking for [`number_format`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php). — Jon, Jan 31 '13 at 12:00

try number_format method. It will get the job done for you.

$number = 444.657;

$format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 444.66

Without Rounding

substr(number_format($number, 3, '.', ''), 0, -1);
//444.65
