I have this Curl makeup
<?php
$url ="https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=USD&tsyms=BTC";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
$json = json_decode($response);
echo $json->BTC;
curl_close($curl);
Trying to get the value of BTC, I got 1.659E-5 instead of 0.00001659. Please I need help on how to decode this without this wrong figure.
CodePudding user response:
PHP automatically uses scientific notation for smaaall numbers display.
You can use (s)printf() to control formatting :
// 8 decimals
printf('%.8f', $json->BTC); // 0.00001654
