I need to know how to take
10.25 and turn it to 1025
basically it needs to remove full stop from any number for e.g. 1500.25 it should be 150025
$number = str_replace('.','',$number);
if the currency is a float: multiply with 100 (and cast the result to int
).
$currency = 10.25;
$number = (int)($currency * 100); //1025
note that this solution will only get the first two decimals saved - if you have a number like 10.123
, the 3
will simply be cut off without rounding.
Floating-point arithmetic is by it's definition not exact. Therefore it's worthwhile to NOT cast the value to a float if it's a string, and avoid casting it into a string if it's a float.
Here's a function which takes care to check the value type:
function toCents($value) {
// Strings with a dot is specially handled
// so they won't be converted to float
if (is_string($value) && strpos($value, '.') !== false) {
list($integer, $decimals) = explode('.', $value);
$decimals = (int) substr($decimals . '00', 0, 2);
return ((int) $integer) * 100 + $decimals;
// float values are rounded to avoid errors when a value
// like ".10" is saved as ".099"
} elseif (is_float($value) {
return round($value * 100);
// Other values are strings or integers, which are cast
// to int and multiplied directly.
} else {
return ((int) $value) * 100;
}
}
if you want replace one character only, use strtr instead str_replace
$number = str_replace('.','',$number);
and
$number = strtr($number, array('.', ''));
same output but strtr is better.
