PHP/MySQL 转换并保存格式化的价格

Question

I need store in MySQL all prices submitted by users. The prices submitted by the users can contain these formats:

 123.456,78  (ARG format)
 123,456.78  (US format)
  123456,78  (ARG simplified format)
  123456.78  (US simplified format)

In MySQL i have a column named "price" of type decimal .

My question is, How can i convert those formats to decimal to save them in my database?, or, How can i convert values to "ARG simplified format" to save all as varchar ? I need all with the same format (two decimals).

Answer 1

I've tried to help you with your previous question , that is similar to this one.

My solution is to limit/format the user input on the client side, for that you can use the html5 input type=number with a step (increment) of 0.01 .

 <input type="number" step="0.01" value='0.00' placeholder='0.00'>

Notes:

Make sure you validate the values on the server side too.
