Decimal Places

[UnseenMenace]

I Have a default currency of GBP ( UK Pound ) and the decimal places are set as being 2 with the symbol . to identify this and , to identify a thousand however when I enter a value such as 10,680 into any product it displays as being 10.68 and changing the number of decimal places makes other prices look odd such as 6.00 looks like 6.00000 is there a solution to resolve this ?

It sounds like your server is configured for a European-style numeric formatting, using , as the decimal separator. Meanwhile, your data feed is using , as a thousands separator. I would check with your host about numeric formatting in PHP -- maybe you need to add something to your master language file to override the server's default settings.

 

Once you have that taken care of (using . as the decimal separator), you can deal with Google supplying , in your numbers. You would probably have to add some PHP code in whatever is processing the Google feed, to strip out commas from the number:

$price = str_replace(',', '', $price);

If you want/need to change the decimal separator in the data from . to , you can then:

$price = str_replace('.', ',', $price);
