Re: Formatting Numbers

in javascript

function moneyFormat(num) {
num = eval(num);
num *= 100;
num = Math.round(num)/100;
if (num - Math.floor(num) == 0) {
 num = num + ".00";
 }
else {
 string = num.toString();
 parts = string.split(".");
 cents = parts[1];
 if (cents.length == 1) {
  num = num + "0";
  }
 }
return num;
}

in PHP

$num = number_format($num,2);
