$sanitizer->float() method

Sanitize to floating point value

Values for getString argument:

false (bool): do not return string value (default). 3.0.171+
true (bool): locale aware floating point number string. 3.0.171+
f (string): locale aware floating point number string (same as true). 3.0.193+
F (string): non-locale aware floating point number string. 3.0.193+
e (string): lowercase scientific notation (e.g. 1.2e+2). 3.0.193+
E (string): uppercase scientific notation (e.g. 1.2E+2). 3.0.193+

// basic usage
$float = $sanitizer->float($value);

// usage with all arguments
$float = $sanitizer->float($value, array $options = []);
