I am trying to use the money_format() function in PHP, but it gives the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function money_format()
Searches about this error reveal that the function money_format() is only defined if the system has strfmon capabilities (for example, Windows does not) and also that the function has been removed from PHP 8.0.
Is there an equivalent PHP function available?
As of php 8.0 money_format() has been removed. Checkout here
money_format() php function can only be used for php 7.4 and below. Alternatively you can use
numfmt_format_currency ( NumberFormatter $fmt , float $value , string $currency ) Read more from here
where:
fmt
NumberFormatter object.
value
The numeric currency value.
currency
The 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code indicating the currency to use.
Example:
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );
echo numfmt_format_currency($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000, "EUR")."\n";
You can also use a very simple and straight forward laravel package: money-formatter
The solution to this problem is create a PHP file with the money_format() function and use the Apache auto_prepend_file directive in your php.ini file. Usually, if you use XAMPP, your php.ini should be in
C:\XAMPP\php\php.ini
Append this line of code to your php.ini file.
auto_prepend_file = "C:\money_format.php"
use this function in money_format.php

This PHP function will give you output based on INR formatting, pass the parameter, and you are done.

In your page call numberToCurrency($number) function and it will format and give you output in INR formatting only.
Sample Output:-
echo numberToCurrency('123') => ₹123/-
echo numberToCurrency('1234') => ₹1,234/-
echo numberToCurrency('1234567') => ₹12,34,567/-
echo numberToCurrency('1234567.123') => ₹12,34,567.12/-
echo numberToCurrency('1234567.125') => ₹12,34,567.13/-
echo numberToCurrency('-1234567.125') => -₹12,34,567.13/-
