Overview

Symfony2 Bundle wrapping common Money and Currency related needs such as integer-based math, currency codes, and money conversion.

Installation

Add the package to your composer.json file:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/matmar10/lib-money"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "matmar10/lib-money": "dev-master"
    }
}

Creating Objects

Currencies are identified by a currency code and have a calculation and display precision:

$eur = new Currency('EUR', 2, 2);

$euros = new Money($eur);
$euros->setAmountFloat(1.99);

Basic Math

The Money object wraps all basic math functions using underlying integer math to avoid the (problems with floating point math)[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3730019/why-not-use-double-or-float-to-represent-currency].

All amounts are stored as integer values internally using the calculation precision as the scale.

// must use a valid iso4217 currency code 
// with the exception of BTC for Bitcoin, as specified in the override configuration
$usd = new Currency('USD', 5, 2);

$usdAmount1 = new Money($usd);
$usdAmount1->setAmountFloat(1.2345);

$usdAmount2 = new Money($usd);
$usdAmount2->setAmountFloat(1.2345);

$usdAmount1->isEqual($usdAmount2); // true

$resultAmount1 = $usdAmount1->add($usdAmount2);
echo $resultAmount1->getAmountDisplay(); // 2.47

$resultAmount2 = $usdAmount1->subtract($usdAmount2);
echo $resultAmount2->getAmountFloat(); // 0

$resultAmount3 = $usdAmount1->multiply(3);
echo $resultAmount3->getAmountFloat(); // 3.7035
echo $resultAmount3->getAmountDisplay(); // 3.70

$resultAmount4 = $usdAmount1->divide(2);
echo $resultAmount3->getAmountFloat(); // 0.61725
echo $resultAmount3->getAmountDisplay(); // 0.62

Dealing with Fractional Cents

How do you divide $10 evenly amongst three people? In reality, you can't divide fractional cents.

Really, you want to end up with three equal-ish shares:

• $3.34
• $3.33
• $3.33

$eurAmount = new Money(new Currency('EUR', 2, 2));
$eurAmount->setAmountFloat(10);

// split the 10 euros into three equal parts using euro cents as the smallest unit
$shares = $eurAmount->allocate(array(1, 1, 1), 2);

$shares[0]->getAmountFloat(); // 3.34
$shares[1]->getAmountFloat(); // 3.33
$shares[2]->getAmountFloat(); // 3.33

Converting Between Currencies

Use the CurrencyPair object to convert between disparate currencies using an exchange rate:

Note that the rate works bi-directionally:

$gbp = new Currency('GBP', 2, 2);
$usd = new Currency('USD', 2, 2);

$gbpAmount = new Money($gbp);
$gbpAmount->setAmountFloat(10);


// 1 GBP = 1.5 USD
$gbpToUsd = new CurrencyPair($gbp, $usd, 1.5);

$usdAmount = $gbpToUsd->convert($gbpAmount);
echo $usdAmount->getDisplay(); // 15.00

$gbpAmount2 = $gbpToUsd->convert($usdAmount);
echo $gbpAmount2->getDisplay(); // 10.00
