How to format price in Magento?

There are a couple of methods to format price in Magento. The easiest and most used is:

Mage::helper("core")->currency($price, $format, $includeContainer)

For Example:

echo Mage::helper("core")->currency(115, true, false)
//if your currency is Euro then output will be: €115.00

Sometimes you don’t need currency symbols in your prices, then you will need something like:

Mage::getModel('directory/currency')->setData("currency_code", Mage::app()->getStore(null)->getCurrentCurrency()->getCode())->format(
    $product->getFinalPrice(), 
    array('display' =>Zend_Currency::NO_SYMBOL), false);

The value for the display can be:

Zend_Currency::NO_SYMBOL : It will remove the symbol and show only the price.
Zend_Currency::USE_SYMBOL : Shows the currency symbol before the price.
Zend_Currency::USE_SHORTNAME : Shows the abbreviation of the currency before the price.
Zend_Currency::USE_NAME : shows the full name of the currency before the price.

Example outputs:

Zend_Currency::NO_SYMBOL:         115.00
Zend_Currency::USE_SYMBOL:       €115.00
Zend_Currency::USE_SHORTNAME:  EUR115.00
Zend_Currency::USE_NAME:      EURO115.00
