Is there a way to split a dollar amount?

I need to split a dollar amount into dollars and cents. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

My suggestion :

$amount   = 4.95; //or whatever you want
$dollars  = floor($amount);
$cents    = 100*($amount - $dollars);
echo "\$$amount or $dollars dollars and $cents cents";

PHP:

outputs
$4.95 or 4 dollars and 95 cents

 

$amount   = 4.95; //or whatever you want
list($dollars,$cents) = explode('.',$amount);
echo "\$$amount or $dollars dollars and $cents cents";

PHP:

Peace,

 

Yeah!... that's better

 

$amount   = 4.95; //or whatever you want
$dollars  = substr($amount,0,strpos($amount,'.'));
$cents    = substr($amount,strpos($amount,'.')+1);
echo "\$$amount or $dollars dollars and $cents cents";
