formatCurrency() not working

[Eduardo G.]

Hi all, I have a (maybe silly) question about formatCurrency() function as I want to use it from a custom addon.

I've configured my only currecy euro as shown on attachment.

When I run this code:

	$value = '4.40';	echo "value is: " . formatCurrency($value) . "<br>\n";
$value = '4,40';	echo "value is: " . formatCurrency($value) . "<br>\n";
$value = '4';	   echo "value is: " . formatCurrency($value) . "<br>\n";

 

I get this output:

value is: 4
value is: 4
value is: 4

 

I'm using it from a custom function inside a custom addon.

What am I doing wrong with this function?

P.S. using latest 5.1.2

Thanks.

Before making the first formatCurrency call, add this line which gets the current users currency and see if that helps at all.

 

$currency = getCurrency($userid);

Thanks. I get nothing new :-(

As documentation says: "You must call the first function first unless you are only wanting to display a value in the default system currency." and that's exactly what I want.

Even using that line above, I get exactly same input.

I don't know where the mistake is :-(

I did some quick tests and it looks like this function only works properly in the client area but if you try and call this function and your outputting data to the admin area it doesn't work.

 

I would recommend opening a ticket with WHMCS and see if this is a workaround or if they can fix it.

Hi,

 

Do the following:

 

---

global $currency;

$currency = getCurrency();

formatCurrency($value)

---

 

That should fix it. Enjoy.
