[FIXED] $19.95 loads as .95 in a form edit in the backend

$19.95 loads as .95 in a form edit in the backend 16 Mar 2013 07:07 #6945

I am using text fields in my table and if I enter $19.95 in the form, it is saved properly in the database and is the proper value in a var_dump from within the view.html.php for that form but within the displayed form, it is truncated to .95.

It appears as if it is a dollar sign escape issue as if you do not use it as the first character, it works properly.

I have reproduced it in a virgin project within the sandbox so it is not influenced by my version of joomla or anything on my servers.

Edit: V2.5 Compatibility selected.

The problem resides in the generated dom.php within the parse() function.

$html = preg_replace("/<%" . strtoupper($key) . "%>/",$value, $html);

should be:

$html = preg_replace("/<%" . strtoupper($key) . "%>/", str_replace("$","\\$",$value), $html);

in order to escape $'s in $value to prevent preg_replace() from removing the '$xx' from a passed in value of '$xx.xx'.

I see several calls to preg_replace() within your generated code so you should escape them as well in order to prevent problems elsewhere in your code.

Hi @agaudreau and welcome!

Good find! Karma++

I would suggest though, if you are storing prices to use a decimal field and not a string to ensure data integrity for calculations that you will probably need to do in the future. It would just be a case of prepending the '$ ' to the value to display to the user.

Hope this helps!

Awards for the best Joomla app. This product is gonna win an award for this amazing job. Cook Self Service is the the best application from all over the Joomla universe ! It brings Joomla to a professional level really advanced for developers. It is a real fun to develop with it. The ACL part and security checks implementation are just... so much hours saved. I can now concentrate myself more on the design part and the creative works. Thank you so much. Guys I offer you all my congratulation ! Keep up the works because Joomla is needing it to increase the quality of extensions availables on the JED. I also learned a lot because I can see how to code at the proper place and I found all my answers reading the forum.
