<?php
$value = get_field('data_value');
switch ($value){
case null:
echo '-';
break;
default:
echo esc_attr($pre_value) . number_format($value);
}
?>
I can’t find a solution to fix the number_format() expects parameter 1 to be float, string given. Above is a snippet of the code and using switch instead of else/if.
I only see this in post edit where the block is used. Frontend is fine once I echo '-'; if null or empty. it’s an number field on a post type and I filter it to have thousand separator if the value is filled. But since and empty is passing a string it cause the php warning. I can not find a solution via StackOverflow, feel like I’ve tested everything.
I assume someone played with number_format() before and faced the same issue.
default:
if ($value) {
echo esc_attr($pre_value) . number_format($value);
}
Thanks as always John!
Found out my default code is working I was just loading another block which did not have an solution if empty/switch for number_fromat(); which was causing the issue.
Below works and the same using if only, but I stick with switch easier to structure if you don’t see something I’m missing or wrong doing?
<?php
$value = get_field('data_value');
switch ($value){
case null:
echo '-';
break;
default:
echo esc_attr($pre_value) . number_format($value);
}
?>
<?php
$value = get_field('data_value');
if ($value):
echo esc_attr($pre_value) . number_format($value);
else: echo '-';
endif;
?>
