Remove useless zero digits from decimals in PHP

Question

I'm trying to find a fast way to remove zero decimals from number values like this:

echo cleanNumber('125.00');
// 125

echo cleanNumber('966.70');
// 966.7

echo cleanNumber(844.011);
// 844.011

Does exists some optimized way to do that?

Answer 1

You can use:

print (floatval)(number_format( $Value), 2 ) );    

Answer 2

You should cast your numbers as floats, which will do this for you.

$string = "42.422005000000000000000000000000";
echo (float)$string;

Output of this will be what you are looking for.

42.422005

Answer 3

Due to this question is old. First, I'm sorry about this.

The question is about number xxx.xx but in case that it is x,xxx.xxxxx or difference decimal separator such as xxxx,xxxx this can be harder to find and remove zero digits from decimal value.

/**
 * Remove zero digits from decimal value.
 * 
 * @param string|int|float $number The number can be any format, any where use in the world such as 123, 1,234.56, 1234.56789, 12.345,67, -98,765.43
 * @param string The decimal separator. You have to set this parameter to exactly what it is. For example: in Europe it is mostly use "," instead of ".".
 * @return string Return removed zero digits from decimal value.
 */
function removeZeroDigitsFromDecimal($number, $decimal_sep = '.')
{
    $explode_num = explode($decimal_sep, $number);
    if (is_array($explode_num) && isset($explode_num[count($explode_num)-1]) && intval($explode_num[count($explode_num)-1]) === 0) {
        unset($explode_num[count($explode_num)-1]);
        $number = implode($decimal_sep, $explode_num);
    }
    unset($explode_num);
    return (string) $number;
}

And here is the code for test.

$numbers = [
    1234,// 1234
    -1234,// -1234
    '12,345.67890',// 12,345.67890
    '-12,345,678.901234',// -12,345,678.901234
    '12345.000000',// 12345
    '-12345.000000',// -12345
    '12,345.000000',// 12,345
    '-12,345.000000000',// -12,345
];
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
    var_dump(removeZeroDigitsFromDecimal($number));
}


echo '<hr>'."\n\n\n";


$numbers = [
    1234,// 12324
    -1234,// -1234
    '12.345,67890',// 12.345,67890
    '-12.345.678,901234',// -12.345.678,901234
    '12345,000000',// 12345
    '-12345,000000',// -12345
    '12.345,000000',// 12.345
    '-12.345,000000000',// -12.345
    '-12.345,000000,000',// -12.345,000000 STRANGE!! but also work.
];
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
    var_dump(removeZeroDigitsFromDecimal($number, ','));
}

Answer 4

This is a simple one line function using rtrim, save separator and decimal point :

function myFormat($num,$dec)
 {
 return rtrim(rtrim(number_format($num,$dec),'0'),'.');
 }

Answer 5

This is what I use:

function TrimTrailingZeroes($nbr) {
    return strpos($nbr,'.')!==false ? rtrim(rtrim($nbr,'0'),'.') : $nbr;
}

N.B. This assumes . is the decimal separator. It has the advantage that it will work on arbitrarily large (or small) numbers since there is no float cast. It also won't turn numbers into scientific notation (e.g. 1.0E-17).

Answer 6

Simply adding + to your string variable will cause typecast to (float) and removes zeros:

echo +'125.00';  // 125
echo +'966.70';  // 966.7
echo +844.011;   // 844.011

var_dump(+'844.011asdf');  // double(844.011)
