PHP remove trailing and leading zeros
12 May 2010I couldn’t find a nice number clean function for php for remove leading and
trailing zeros (and trailing decimal points) so hear is function number_clean, enjoy :)
<?php
/*
* Function: number_clean
* Purpose: Remove trailing and leading zeros - just to return cleaner number
*/
public function number_clean($num){
//remove zeros from end of number ie. 140.00000 becomes 140.
$clean = rtrim($num, '0');
//remove zeros from front of number ie. 0.33 becomes .33
$clean = ltrim($clean, '0');
//remove decimal point if an integer ie. 140. becomes 140
$clean = rtrim($clean, '.');
return $clean;
}
?>
