In PHP how do you format a number as currency handling cases such as 10 cents equaling "$.1";

Question

I currently do:

 $totalBill = number_format($totalBill, 2); 
 $totalBill = '$'.$totalBill;

This does not handle cases though where the total is say 10 cents. It returns "$0.1" which I do not want. Does anyone have a better way?

Answer 1

$totalBill = sprintf('$%.2f',$totalBill);

Answer 2

You probably want money_format() instead

Answer 3

Use PHP's money_format function.
