Currency in PHP on a Windows server 1

[ralphonzo]

It seems like it's the Windows server that's due to host the site that's causing all of my efforts to render USD results, however much I try to use setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');

Does anyone know of a way around this issue?

Does nobody know how to force a currency choice on a windows server?

i suspect it's to do with LC_ALL but i don't know many people that develop on windows.
is the format defined in the windows control panel, for example? and if so are you expressly using setlocale to reflect the same name as used in the CP?

personally I'd go for number_format() and add in the currency symbol by hand

Thanks for that. I think I'll try the number_format() option.
