Formatting currency string

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm using code:

$display_price = $abbreviation[$TheCurrency].sprintf("%3.2f", ($conversion * $price))

to produce a currency formst string.

But, instead of getting my expected
U$1.25, i get U$ 1.25, with a space between the number and the currency prefix. What am I doing wrong here?

kind regards, Graham Nichols.

Sometimes small stuff can really tick you off :-)

"What am I doing wrong here?"

most likely, your $abbreviation[$TheCurrency] contains a space.

do this:
echo '>'.$abbreviation[$TheCurrency].'<';
echo '>'.trim($abbreviation[$TheCurrency]).'<';

and see what you get.
