Format price in the current locale and currency

Question

I use :

$product->getPrice();

to get the unformatted price that I can calculate "quantity X price" with ajax.

I want to reformat the total in the current locale and currency. How can I do that?

I think Google could have answered your question ;-) See http://blog.chapagain.com.np/magento-format-price/.

You can do it with

$formattedPrice = Mage::helper('core')->currency($finalPrice, true, false);

Careful guys, the currency method not only formats but also converts in the store's currency. If you want formatting but no conversion, then go for Mage::helper('core')->formatPrice($price). See method signature for info on the second parameter. – Martin Rasser Jul 18 '16 at 12:07

For formatting the price in another currency than the current one:

Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency('EUR')->toCurrency($price);

Unformatted and formatted:

$price = $product->getPrice();
$formatted = Mage::helper('core')->currency($price, true, false);

Or use:

Mage::helper('core')->formatPrice($price, true);

<?php echo Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency(Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode())->getSymbol(); ?>

This is a charming answer. Work well on any currency which is selected for store.

$formattedPrice = Mage::helper('core')->currency($finalPrice, true, false);
