i noticed all (well, unless i missed something) the functions working with decimals destroy trailing decimal places. this function restores them in case you want to be able to display a consistent precision for users.
<?php
function decimal($val, $precision = 0) {
if ((float) $val) :
$val = round((float) $val, (int) $precision);
list($a, $b) = explode('.', $val);
if (strlen($b) < $precision) $b = str_pad($b, $precision, '0', STR_PAD_RIGHT);
return $precision ? "$a.$b" : $a;
else : // do whatever you want with values that do not have a float
return $val;
endif;
}
?>

<?php
function floatvalue($value) {
return floatval(preg_replace('#^([-]*[0-9\.,\' ]+?)((\.|,){1}([0-9-]{1,2}))*$#e', "str_replace(array('.', ',', \"'\", ' '), '', '\\1') . '.\\4'", $value));
}
?>
It is much shorter and able to handle those one, too:
xx,-
xx,--
xx'xxx,xx
After using floatvalue() you can go forward with number_format() as usual.

The last getFloat() function is not completely correct.
1.000.000 and 1,000,000 and its negative variants are not correctly parsed. For the sake of comparing and to make myself clear I use the name parseFloat in stead of getFloat for the new function:
<?php
function parseFloat($ptString) {
if (strlen($ptString) == 0) {
return false;
}
$pString = str_replace(" ", "", $ptString);
if (substr_count($pString, ",") > 1)
$pString = str_replace(",", "", $pString);
if (substr_count($pString, ".") > 1)
$pString = str_replace(".", "", $pString);
$pregResult = array();
$commaset = strpos($pString,',');
if ($commaset === false) {$commaset = -1;}
$pointset = strpos($pString,'.');
if ($pointset === false) {$pointset = -1;}
$pregResultA = array();
$pregResultB = array();
if ($pointset < $commaset) {
preg_match('#(([-]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9])?)+(,[0-9]+)?)#', $pString, $pregResultA);
}
preg_match('#(([-]?[0-9]+(,[0-9])?)+(\.[0-9]+)?)#', $pString, $pregResultB);
if ((isset($pregResultA[0]) && (!isset($pregResultB[0])
|| strstr($preResultA[0],$pregResultB[0]) == 0
|| !$pointset))) {
$numberString = $pregResultA[0];
$numberString = str_replace('.','',$numberString);
$numberString = str_replace(',','.',$numberString);
}
elseif (isset($pregResultB[0]) && (!isset($pregResultA[0])
|| strstr($pregResultB[0],$preResultA[0]) == 0
|| !$commaset)) {
$numberString = $pregResultB[0];
$numberString = str_replace(',','',$numberString);
}
else {
return false;
}
$result = (float)$numberString;
return $result;
}
?>

Most of the functions listed here that deal with $ and , are unnecessarily complicated. You can use ereg_replace() to strip out ALL of the characters that will cause floatval to fail in one simple line of code:
<?php $output = floatval(ereg_replace("[^-0-9\.]","",$input)); ?>

For those of you, who are looking for a function that rips the first,
but longest possible float (or at least integer) from a string,
like 123.45 from the string "Price: 123,45$"
If no useable value is found, the function returns false.
Checks for both comma and dot as decimal-separator,
but does not check for 3 digits between thousands,
so 1,234.5 is as valid as 1,23,4.5 (both will return 1234.5)
12,.3 will return 12
1,000,000 will return 1000.0 !
(if thousands separator is defined,
decimals should be defined too ...
in fact I was too lazy to check for that too)
Here you go, and feel free to optimize the function ;)
<?php
function getFloat($pString) {
if (strlen($pString) == 0) {
return false;
}
$pregResult = array();
$commaset = strpos($pString,',');
if ($commaset === false) {$commaset = -1;}
$pointset = strpos($pString,'.');
if ($pointset === false) {$pointset = -1;}
$pregResultA = array();
$pregResultB = array();
if ($pointset < $commaset) {
preg_match('#(([-]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9])?)+(,[0-9]+)?)#', $pString, $pregResultA);
}
preg_match('#(([-]?[0-9]+(,[0-9])?)+(\.[0-9]+)?)#', $pString, $pregResultB);
if ((isset($pregResultA[0]) && (!isset($pregResultB[0])
|| strstr($preResultA[0],$pregResultB[0]) == 0
|| !$pointset))) {
$numberString = $pregResultA[0];
$numberString = str_replace('.','',$numberString);
$numberString = str_replace(',','.',$numberString);
}
elseif (isset($pregResultB[0]) && (!isset($pregResultA[0])
|| strstr($pregResultB[0],$preResultA[0]) == 0
|| !$commaset)) {
$numberString = $pregResultB[0];
$numberString = str_replace(',','',$numberString);
}
else {
return false;
}
$result = (float)$numberString;
return $result;

<?php
float('-100.00', array('single_dot_as_decimal' => true)); // whoops, returns -10000
?>
use: "/^[0-9-]*[\.]{1}[0-9-]+$/"
instead of: "/^[0-9]*[\.]{1}[0-9-]+$/"
19-Apr-2005 08:30
you can also use typecasting instead of functions:
(float) $value;

Use this snippet to extract any float out of a string. You can choose how a single dot is treated with the (bool) 'single_dot_as_decimal' directive.
This function should be able to cover almost all floats that appear in an european environment.
<?php
function float($str, $set=FALSE)
{
if(preg_match("/([0-9\.,-]+)/", $str, $match))
{
// Found number in $str, so set $str that number
$str = $match[0];
if(strstr($str, ','))
{
// A comma exists, that makes it easy, cos we assume it separates the decimal part.
$str = str_replace('.', '', $str); // Erase thousand seps
$str = str_replace(',', '.', $str); // Convert , to . for floatval command
return floatval($str);
}
else
{
// No comma exists, so we have to decide, how a single dot shall be treated
if(preg_match("/^[0-9]*[\.]{1}[0-9-]+$/", $str) == TRUE && $set['single_dot_as_decimal'] == TRUE)
{
// Treat single dot as decimal separator
return floatval($str);
}
else
{
// Else, treat all dots as thousand seps
$str = str_replace('.', '', $str); // Erase thousand seps
return floatval($str);
}
}
}
else
{
// No number found, return zero
return 0;
}
}
// Examples
echo float('foo 123,00 bar'); // returns 123.00
echo float('foo 123.00 bar' array('single_dot_as_decimal'=> TRUE)); //returns 123.000
echo float('foo 123.00 bar' array('single_dot_as_decimal'=> FALSE)); //returns 123000
echo float('foo 222.123.00 bar' array('single_dot_as_decimal'=> TRUE)); //returns 222123000
echo float('foo 222.123.00 bar' array('single_dot_as_decimal'=> FALSE)); //returns 222123000
// The decimal part can also consist of '-'
echo float('foo 123,-- bar'); // returns 123.00
?>
Big Up.

Easier-to-grasp-function for the ',' problem.
<?php

return floatval($match[0]);

return floatval($str); // take some last chances with floatval
}
}
echo Getfloat("$ 19.332,35-"); // will print: 19332.35

floatval() does not work with "$35,234.43", as it could not handle the '$' and the ','. The following takes care of all values, such that only numeric and the decimal sign are input into floatval(). (It probably shows I'm an old 'c' guy)...this function only lightly tested.
<?php
function strtflt($str) {
$il = strlen($str);
$flt = "";
$cstr = "";
for($i=0;$i<$il;$i++) {
$cstr = substr($str, $i, 1);
if(is_numeric($cstr) || $cstr == ".")
$flt = $flt.$cstr;
}
return floatval($flt);
}
?>

This function converts a string to a float no matter is the decimal separator dot (.) or comma (,). It also converts integers correctly. It takes the digits from the beginning of the string and ignores all other characters.
<?php
function floatval($strValue) {
$floatValue = ereg_replace("(^[0-9]*)(\\.|,)([0-9]*)(.*)", "\\1.\\3", $strValue);
if (!is_numeric($floatValue)) $floatValue = ereg_replace("(^[0-9]*)(.*)", "\\1", $strValue);
if (!is_numeric($floatValue)) $floatValue = 0;
return $floatValue;
}
?>

Instead of using floatval which only appeared in PHP 4.2 you could juse use $variable = (float)$variable
This function doesn't seem to add any functionality that wasn't already there.
