Short Number format in PHP Indian Based

Question

Googled for Short Number Format in PHP, got thousands of working results from StackOverflow, Github, etc.. but I didn't get any results for Indian Format.

Eg:

In other countries: 1000 is as 1k, 100000 is as 100k, 10000000 is as 10m

But in India: 1000 is as 1k OR 1T, 100000 is as 1L, 10000000 is as 1c

Can anyone help me to do that?

Why don't you customise the code and try something and reach us when something doesn't work after you try — Mehravish Temkar, Dec 03 '17 at 16:02

With the help of this answer

I came up with a solution for you:

<?php
function indian_short_number($n) {
    if($n <= 99999){
    $precision = 3;
    if ($n < 1000) {
        // Anything less than a thousand
        $n_format = number_format($n);
    } else {
        // At least a thousand
        $n_format = number_format($n / 1000, $precision) . ' K';
    }
/* Use this code if you want to round off your results
$n_format = ceil($n_format / 10) * 10;
if($n >= 1000){ 
$n_format = $n_format . ' K';
}
*/
    return $n_format;   
    }
    else{
    $precision = 2;
    if ($n > 99999 && $n < 9999999) {
        // Anything more than a Lac and less than crore
        $n_format = number_format($n / 100000, $precision) . ' L';
    } elseif ($n > 999999) {
        // At least a crore
        $n_format = number_format($n / 10000000, $precision) . ' C';
    }
/* Use this code if you want to round off your results
$n_format = ceil($n_format / 10) * 10;
if($n >= 10000 && $n < 10000000){ 
$n_format = $n_format . ' L';
}
elseif($n >= 1000000){ 
$n_format = $n_format . ' C';
}
*/
    return $n_format;
}
}
echo indian_short_number(10000);
?>

The code for rounding off is not proper. (For 18100 it rounds to 20 K instead of 19 K)

I will be thankful if any of the visitors edit the answer with the fixing it.

Hope it helps you.
