From Money to integer in PHP

Question

I have a variable which value is $79.00 I need to get the 70% of this value which is *0.7 but when I try it returns 0. I have tried str_replace("$", "", $price); but still it doesn't work. any advice?

<?php
$price2          = woocommerce_price($product->min_variation_price); // string(6) "$79.00"
$floated        = (float) str_replace('/&.*?;/', '', $price2);    // float(79)
$seventyPercent = $floated * 0.7;                          // float(55.3)
$reFormatted    = '$' . number_format($seventyPercent, 2); // string(6) "$55.30"
?>

`integer` means whole number...you must be looking for `float` instead — developerwjk, Sep 01 '15 at 22:52

Is not. I already tried that solution and it doesn't allow me to multiply. — Juan Mrad, Sep 01 '15 at 23:04

Since you haven't shared the code you're using, it's hard to know why it's not working. As you can see, it's not difficult:

$price          = '$79.00';                                // string(6) "$79.00"
$floated        = (float) str_replace('$', '', $price);    // float(79)
$seventyPercent = $floated * 0.7;                          // float(55.3)
$reFormatted    = '$' . number_format($seventyPercent, 2); // string(6) "$55.30"

Didn't Worked :/ still gives me 0.00 as the number. – Juan Mrad Sep 02 '15 at 02:11
Str replace isn't regex - you're confusing it with preg replace – scrowler Sep 02 '15 at 18:40
