PHP Number Format to 12 characters

I have the following numbers: 12.00 12.45

I want those to convert to 000000001200 000000001245

What is the best way to do that?

The total is 12 characters, the last 2 digit is for 2 digits after the decimal point.

You can use number_format and printf to remove any decimals and have zero padding. I included it in a function below:

<?php
function twelvedigits($a){
    $a = number_format($a, 2, '', '');
    printf("%012s\n", $a);
}
$one = 12.45;
$two = 12.00;

echo '$one: ';
twelvedigits($one);
echo '$two: ';
twelvedigits($two);

?>

See the example here: http://ideone.com/I3UOmQ

The "it simply works"-solution

echo str_pad((int) ($value * 100), '0', 12, \STR_PAD_LEFT);

http://php.net/str-pad

You can look at sprintf() for more techically solutions.
