Currency Formatting In Php

In the past, the question "which language do you program in?" had a simple answer. Usually a choice of : C; C++; Visual Basic. However, today the answer is slightly more complicated. Today the answer would be "it depends on the project that I'm working on today" or even "what time is it?". Gone are the days when a programmer could specialize in a single programming language and for them to expect to only know that.

Take, for example, a simple web application. A simple web application will require the use of at least Javascript on the client machine. If any server functionality is required (for example setting up an AJAX application that uses a MySQL database) then a knowledge of PHP is required as well (so that's two programming languages).

Of course, no web application is worth its salt if it can't be turned into an iPhone app. So, even for a simple application, at least 3 programming languages are needed (or maybe 3 programmers). And, of course, someone will want some Flash adding into the mix.
