I built this little function to automatically format anything into a nice currency format   function formatDollars  dollars        return     number format sprintf   0 2f   preg replace     0-9           dollars   2       Edit  It was pointed out that this does not show negative values  I broke it into two lines so it s easier to edit the formatting  Wrap it in parenthesis if it s a negative value   function formatDollars  dollars         formatted         number format sprintf   0 2f   preg replace     0-9           dollars    2       return  dollars  lt  0       formatted         formatted

The easiest answer is number format     echo      number format  value  2     If you want your application to be able to work with multiple currencies and locale-aware formatting  1 000 00 for some of us Europeans for example   it becomes a bit more complex   There is money format   but it doesn t work on Windows and relies on setlocale    which is rubbish in my opinion  because it requires the installation of  arbitrarily named  locale packages on server side   If you want to seriously internationalize your application  consider using a full-blown internationalization library like Zend Framework s Zend Locale and Zend Currency
