Convert Thousands in K format to regular Thousands format

Question

I have numbers that are given to me in the following format:

12.2K

I would instead like to convert this number to display:

The examples ive seen convert to K format, but I would like to convert from K format.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

This is not a code writing service. Once you have some code, ask a more specific question about it. — Laurenz Albe, Jun 18 '18 at 08:37

You mean, something like this? This will be able to convert thousands and millions, etc.

<?php
  $s = "12.2K";
  if (strpos(strtoupper($s), "K") != false) {
    $s = rtrim($s, "kK");
    echo floatval($s) * 1000;
  } else if (strpos(strtoupper($s), "M") != false) {
    $s = rtrim($s, "mM");
    echo floatval($s) * 1000000;
  } else {
    echo floatval($s);
  }
?>

$result = str_ireplace(['.', 'K'], ['', '00'], '12.2K');

You can also expand this by other letters etc.

When the input is 12k, then? – Munim Munna Jun 18 '18 at 09:35

<?php
$number = '12.2K';

if (strpos($number, 'K') !== false)
    {
    $number = rtrim($number, 'K') * 1000;
    }

echo $number
?>

Basically, you just want to check if the string contains a certain character, and if it does, respond to it by taking it out and multiplying it by 1000.

An alternative method is to have the abbreviations in an array and use power of to calculate the number to multiply with.
This gives a shorter code if you have lots of abbreviations.
I use strtoupper to make sure it matches both k and K.

$arr = ["K" => 1 ,"M" => 2, "T" => 3]; // and so on for how ever long you need

$input = "12.2K";
if(isset($arr[strtoupper(substr($input, -1))])){ //does the last character exist in array as an key
    echo substr($input,0,-1) * pow(1000, $arr[strtoupper(substr($input, -1))]); //multiply with the power of the value in array
    //      12.2             *       1000^1
}else{
    echo $input; // less than 1k, just output
}
