In PHP (using built-in functions) I'd like to convert/format a number with decimal, so that only the non-zero decimals show. However, another requirement of mine is that if it's a number without a decimal value, I'd still like to show that zero. Examples:
9.000 -> 9.0
9.100 -> 9.1
9.120 -> 9.12
9.123 -> 9.123
rtrim($value, "0")
almost works. The problem with rtrim is that it leaves 9.000
as 9.
. sprintf()
seemed like a candidate, but I couldn't get it to have a variable amount of decimals. number_format()
serves a different purpose, and those were all I could come up with...
Again, I'd like to point out that I am not looking for your homemade solutions to this, I'm looking for a way to accomplish this using internal PHP functionality. I can write a function that will accomplish this easily myself, so hold answers like that.
