In PHP 8, the money_format function has been removed. The recommended alternative is to use the number_format function in combination with the setlocale function to format currency values. Here’s an example:

// Set the locale for currency formatting
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');

// Your numeric value
$amount = 1234.56;

// Format the numeric value as currency
$formattedAmount = number_format($amount, 2); // 2 represents the number of decimal places

// Display the formatted currency value
echo "$formattedAmount USD";

Note that you should set the locale to the appropriate value based on your requirements. The above example uses ‘en_US’ for US English formatting. Adjust the locale parameter accordingly for your specific use case.
