[Web-erp-developers] Decimal point and thousands separator

[Daintrees <p.d...@pa...>]

The function

number_format

is used extensively throughout webERP. To have the option of displaying
numbers with different decimal separators and thousands separators then all
that is required is some variables in config.php

$ThousandsSeparator = ",";
$DecimalSeparator = ".";

or in your case:

$ThousandsSeparator = ".";
$DecimalSeparator = ",";

then amending the function calls to number_format to pass these extra
parameters. If you are happy to do a little dirty work editing each script -
from the CVS I am certainly happy to include this Dirk.

The PHP manual extract for number_format follows for your reference...

string number_format ( float number, int decimals, string dec_point, string
thousands_sep)


number_format() returns a formatted version of number. This function accepts
either one, two or four parameters (not three):

If only one parameter is given, number will be formatted without decimals,
but with a comma (",") between every group of thousands.

If two parameters are given, number will be formatted with decimals decimals
with a dot (".") in front, and a comma (",") between every group of
thousands.

If all four parameters are given, number will be formatted with decimals
decimals, dec_point instead of a dot (".") before the decimals and
thousands_sep instead of a comma (",") between every group of thousands.

Only the first character of thousands_sep is used. For example, if you use
foo as thousands_sep on the number 1000, number_format() will return 1f000.
