I need to design a function to return negative numbers unchanged but should add a + sign at the start of the number if its already no present.

Example:

Input     Output
----------------
+1         +1
1          +1
-1         -1

It will get only numeric input.

function formatNum($num)
{
# something here..perhaps a regex?
}

This function is going to be called several times in echo/print so the quicker the better.
