PHP decimal point help

I have this code that doesn't display the 2nd number after the decimal point. This number is used for money.

Example:
$125.0 what I need is $125.00
$125.4 what I need is $125.40

Here is the line of code that I need to change:
$item_price = $item->sellingStatus->currentPrice;

Any help would be appreciated.

 

$item_price = number_format($item->sellingStatus->currentPrice, 2);

PHP:

 

Thanks Markus, but the code still shows just 1 zero after the decimal point.

 

Ah sorry, the $ sign breaks it i guess

$item_price = money_format('$%i',str_replace("$","",$item->sellingStatus->currentPrice));

PHP:

 

Markus,

That kind of works... I now get two $ symbols and there is no comma when the dollar amount gets into the thousands. However, there is the .00 now instead of 100.0 when it shows $100.00
I really appreciate you working on this. If you can find a solution that would be great.

 

You can look at the two functions I am using http://php.net/money_format, http://php.net/manual/en/function.floatval.php and http://php.net/number_format which should get you started on a nice solution that works for you. Here is a modified version that should work.

$item_price = '$'.number_format(floatval($item->sellingStatus->currentPrice));

PHP:

 

This works when I take out the $ symbol. It just doesn't add the comma for some reason.
$item_price = money_format('%i',str_replace("$","",$item->sellingStatus->currentPrice));

 

Try doing setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US'); and also change the "$" to '$' and it should work with the $ symbol included or just change my str_replace with flatval()

 

That worked good except it now has the big USD between the dollar symbol and the number.
Example:
$USD 1,349.00

 

Last try then

setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
$item_price = money_format('%(#1n',str_replace('$','',"$1220939938430.00"));
echo $item_price;

PHP:

 

Remove the dollar sign before doing number format:

<?php
$item_price = '$' . number_format(str_replace('$', '', $item->sellingStatus->currentPrice), 2);

PHP:

 

This one worked perfect thanks a lot.

 

My question would be why the **** is there a $ in the stored value in the first place?

 

I think it is the way Ebay API works:
