@as3admystery did you try?
public function totalAmount(): Attribute
{
return new Attribute(
get: fn ($value) => number_format(floatval($value), 2),
);
}

Problem when using number_format() function with Model Attribute accessor
Hello, I have an Invoice model with a total_amount attribute, I want to format the value and used
public function totalAmount(): Attribute
{
return new Attribute(
get: fn ($value) => number_format((float)$value, 2, '.', ','),
);
}
the problem is if value = 3047.00, the result showing is = 3.00. also if I tried number_format($value) without using the (float) before it, I get error:
number_format(): Argument #1 ($num) must be of type float, string given

@Amaury yes, and also still the same result. I'm using laravel 9 and php v8.2 if that would help

@As3adMystery I was focused on the float part… In your model, what is the attribute you want to change?
Level 1
@Amaury total_amount, also the database column is total_amount. the problem is it's like if the number is above a thousand, it deletes the first three digits. for example if the $value is 9055.00, it became 9.00 with number_format function. but if the value is 170.00 it stays the same.

@As3adMystery And this?
protected function totalAmount(): Attribute
{
return Attribute::make(
get: fn ($value) => number_format(floatval($value), 2),
);
}
Level 1
@Amaury still the same

@As3adMystery did you try with a method?
public function totalAmountFormatted()
{
return number_format(floatval($this->total_amount), 2);
}
And then use as:
$item->totalAmountFormatted();

@Amaury that works, thank you very much.
Why it doesn't work in accessor? I don't want to go to every view and change the $invoice->total_amount to $invoice->totalAmountFormatted()

@As3adMystery Nice, can you mark it as solved? Thanks.

it looks like that is a laravel 9 problem. I updated to laravel 11 and it is working just fine.
