Removing the space after the dollar sign in the output of PHP's money_format()

I use

money_format('%(#15.2n',$money)

It outputs something like

$ 500.00

Is there a way to remove the space between the dollar sign and 500?

money_format^[docs] may not even work on some platforms. It would be more reliable to use number_format^[docs]:

echo '$' . number_format($money, 2); // '$12.44'

If you wanted it padded to a certain number of spaces, but with the dollar sign immediately before the number, you could also use sprintf^[docs]:

echo printf("%15s", '$' . number_format($money, 2)); // '         $12.44'

use str_replace(" ", "", $string)

To remove the extra spaces is fairly simple. The code you're using is actually adding the padding. An example from the money_format documentation:

// US national format, using () for negative numbers
// and 10 digits for left precision
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo money_format('%(#10n', $number) . "\n";
// ($ 1,234.57)

The #15 in your example is the culprit. If you were to look at your reference inside of a pre tag you would actually see the number padded to 15 spaces.

 $                500.00 

If you remove that...

money_format('%(.2n',$money)

You will get:

$500.00

You can also drop the ( to not wrap the negative numbers in parentheses (the alternative is a - at the beginning). And if you actually still want that and the single space you reference in your expected result you can try:

money_format('%(#4.2n',$money)

$str = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', $str);

This is what I use:

function my_money_format($number){
    return str_replace(" ", "",money_format('%+#10n', $number));
}

echo money_format('$%i', $number)
