Money (DEPRECATED)
==================

[](#money-deprecated)

**Shameless port of [RubyMoney](https://github.com/RubyMoney/money)**

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e4eac8406efda9e88f0987d3ef6e94d4d50f3a41104a8f028b05f4cb2a107b14/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7068696c697062726f776e2f6d6f6e65792e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/philipbrown/money)

`Money` is a PHP class that allows you to easily work with money within your application including it's value and currency. Each currency has it's associated information encapsulated with a seperate `Currency` class.

Values are represented as integers in cents to avoid floating point rounding errors.

Return values are immutable value objects.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add `philipbrown/money` as a requirement to `composer.json`:

```
{
  "require": {
    "philipbrown/money": "1.*"
  }
}
```

Update your packages with `composer update`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To create a new `Money` object you either instantiate like you normally would, or use the `init` static convenience method.

```
// Create a new Money object representing $5 USD
$m = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$m = new Money(500, 'USD');
```

Values are stored as integers to avoid the problem of floating point errors. To access the value of the `Money` object you can simply request the `cents` property. To get the currency of the object you can request the `currency` property. This will return an instance of `Money\Curreny` that has a `__toString` method.

```
$m->cents; // 500
$m->currency; // United States Dollar
```

Equality is important to working with many different types of currency. You shouldn't be able to blindly add two different currencies without some kind of exchange process.

```
$m = Money::init(500, 'USD');

$m->isSameCurrency(Money::init(500, 'GBP')); // false
```

A [Value Object](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_object) is an object that represents an entity whose equality isn't based on identity: i.e. two value objects are equal when they have the same value, not necessarily being the same object.

```
$one = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$two = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$three = Money::init(501, 'USD');

$one->equals($two); // true
$one->equals($three); // false
```

Inevitably you are going to need to add, subtract, multiply and divide values of money in your application.

```
$one = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$two = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$three = $one->add($two);
$three->cents // 1000
```

Again, you shouldn't be able to add to values of different currencies without some kind of exchange process.

```
$one = Money::init(500, 'USD');
$two = Money::init(500, 'GBP');

$three = $one->add($two); // Money\Exception\InvalidCurrencyException
```
