Number¶

currency¶

currency(mixed $number, string $currency= 'USD', $options = array())

This method is used to display a number in common currency formats (EUR,GBP,USD). Usage in a view looks like:

<?php echo $this->Number->currency($number,$currency); ?>

The first parameter, $number, should be a floating point number that represents the amount of money you are expressing. The second parameter is used to choose a predefined currency formatting scheme:

The third parameter is an array of options for further defining the output. The following options are available:

Option

Description

before

The currency symbol to place before whole numbers ie. “$”

after

The currency symbol to place after decimal numbers ie. “c”. Set to boolean false to use no decimal symbol. eg. 0.35 => $0.35.

zero

The text to use for zero values, can be a string or a number. ie. 0, “Free!”

places

Number of decimal places to use. ie. 2

thousands

Thousands separator ie. “,”

decimals

Decimal separator symbol ie. “.”

negative

Symbol for negative numbers. If equal to “()”, the number will be wrapped with ( and )

escape

Should the output be htmlentity escaped? Defaults to true

If a non-recognized $currency value is supplied, it is prepended to a USD formatted number. For example:

<?php echo $this->Number->currency('1234.56', 'FOO'); ?>

//Outputs:
FOO 1,234.56

precision¶

precision (mixed $nombre, int $precision = 3)

Cette méthode affiche un nombre avec le degré de précision spécifié (nombre de décimales). Il sera arrondi pour conserver ce niveau de précision.

<?php echo $number->precision(456.91873645, 2 ); ?>

// Affiche :
456.92

toPercentage¶

toPercentage(mixed $nombre, int $precision = 2)

Comme precision(), cette méthode formate un nombre en fonction de la précision fournie (les nombres sont arrondis pour répondre à la précision donnée). Cette méthode exprime également le nombre comme un pourcentage et complète l’affichage avec le signe « pour cent ».

<?php echo $number->toPercentage(45.691873645); ?>

// Affiche :
45.69%

toReadableSize¶

toReadableSize(string $taille_donnee)

Cette méthode formate des tailles de données sous une forme compréhensible par les humains. Elle fournit un raccourci pour convertir des octets en Ko, Mo, Go et To. La taille est affichée avec un niveau de précision à deux chiffres, adapté à la taille des données fournies (par exemple : les tailles les plus grandes sont exprimées avec les unités les plus grandes) :

echo $number->toReadableSize(0);  // 0 octet
echo $number->toReadableSize(1024); // 1 Ko
echo $number->toReadableSize(1321205.76); // 1.26 Mo
echo $number->toReadableSize(5368709120); // 5.00 Go

format¶

format (mixed $number, mixed $options=false)

This method gives you much more control over the formatting of numbers for use in your views (and is used as the main method by most of the other NumberHelper methods). Using this method might looks like:

$this->Number->format($number, $options);

The $number parameter is the number that you are planning on formatting for output. With no $options supplied, the number 1236.334 would output as 1,236. Note that the default precision is zero decimal places.

The $options parameter is where the real magic for this method resides.

• If you pass an integer then this becomes the amount of precision or places for the function.

• If you pass an associated array, you can use the following keys:

  • places (integer): the amount of desired precision

  • before (string): to be put before the outputted number

  • escape (boolean): if you want the value in before to be escaped

  • decimals (string): used to delimit the decimal places in a number

  • thousands (string): used to mark off thousand, millions, … places

echo $this->Number->format('123456.7890', array(
    'places' => 2,
    'before' => '¥ ',
    'escape' => false,
    'decimals' => '.',
    'thousands' => ','
));
// output '¥ 123,456.79'
