Accesing Price as Numeric Value

Hi,

Apologies if this is an obvious question but can't find anything in the documentation. I have a pricing field - single product. When I display the price it displays with the currency symbol intact - e.g. $1.50. How do I access the numeric version of that - i.e. 1.5?

Many Thanks.

Michael

Hi David,

Thanks for getting back to us. I just want to perform a calculation on the value so I need to strip all of the currency formatting from it and deal with it as a number. Basically if price is less than 10 do something, else do something different.

Thanks.

Hi David,

It's on a local server I'm afraid. Can you tell me how I would perform a calculation - e.g. detect if the price is less than 10?

Thanks.

Hi David,

I'm just using that as an example to see if there is a simple way of getting the price in numeric format.

The actual script I'm working on is for integration with a third party payment system. I'm using gform_validation to send the payment information to a payment processor. I have it working fine, but currently have to hard code the amount as it won't work with a non-numeric figure.

Thanks.

Hi David,

I have a form with a fixed price product (it's a registration fee). In the admin area I add it as a Product of type Single Product. I disable the Quantity and enter the Price as 0.50. When I click outside of the Price box the price is automatically reformatted to include the currency - i.e. 0,50€.

When I run the validation script I use the following code.

$form = $validation_result["form"];
foreach($form['fields'] as &$field){
var_dump($field);
}

In the output for this field the only place I can find the figure 0.50 is

["basePrice"]=>
string(8) "0,50 €"

But this is as a string, not a number.

Best Regards.

Michael
