I am having PHP calculation problems (I think - i am reasonably new to PHP).

I am using

function convertToBTCFromSatoshi($value){
    $BTC = ($value / 100000000 );
    return (float)$BTC;
}

If $value = 10000 the result is correct of "0.0001"

Yet if $value = 5000 the result is "-5.0E-5"

Any ideas please :-)

Satoshi to BTC

(Mathematical formula: Value * 10 ^ -8):

$satoshi = 5000; //Satoshi to btc
echo number_format(($satoshi)*(pow(10, -8)), 8, '.', ''); //Returns 0.00005000

BTC to Satoshi

(Mathematical formula: Value * 10 ^ 8):

$btc = 0.00005; //Btc to satoshi
echo ($btc)*(pow(10, 8)); //Returns 5000

Explanation

pow() - Exponential expression
number_format($var, 8, '.', '') - Returns a number eight decimal places
