What is wrong?

For some reason if I take this code out my script works just fine just not formatted as a price. Well, I have nearly this exact code ( just different variables ) in another script and it works just fine. I was wondering if I did something wrong, all it says is "called to un-defined function money_format()". This is a standard function and should work just fine but if I use this code it doesn't work.

Code-
settype ( $price, "double" );
$price = money_format( '%i', $price );

 

From the documentation:

 

But I'm on a FreeBSD server. Does FreeBSD not have strfmon capabilities?

 

I suspected you were testing on your local PC before uploading it and you were seeing the error there. Clearly I was wrong

 

No, I used it on the server. Does FreeBSD not have the capability?
I made a special testing area on my website since I many times use multiple computers and I'm on one that isn't a server, if I make changes I just make a note of it and re-back up my website's files so I have them in a convenient place.

 

What version of php is installed?

 

It's 4.3.10, not the newest but should be able to have the money_format function. At least according to the php.net documentation.

 

Hmmm, ok let me post a test file to one of my hosts and see what it does there.

Funnily enough it doesn't work on my server either

 

Sure, and thanks for all the help. I wonder what it could be. Doesn't it work on php4.3.10?

 

It should work on 4.3.10 +, but doesn't work on any of the three hosting companies I use.

 

Have you tried using "number_format()" it can do the same job.

 

Perhaps they made a mistake in the documentation.

Yeah but if the price's last digit after the decimal is 0 it just drops it. Is there another alternative?

 

Why not explode the string after using number_format:

  $number="$1.2"
  list($dollars,$cents)=explode(".",$number);
  if (strlen($cents)==1)
    $cents.=$cents."0";
  if (strlen($cents)==0)
    $cents="00";
  $number=$dollars.".".$cents;

Code (markup):

 

Are you using number_format($var,2);

It works for me $var="123" or $var="123.001" both display as 123.00
