number formatting echo's in tables.

[seany123]

so basically ive been using: = $english_format_number = number_format(); to format my number values so its more neater and looks better etc.

 

now im faced with a problem... i wish to format this...

 

echo "<td>$" . $member['money'] . "</td>\n";

 

$member['money'] is a number and i want it to be in the above format... how can this be done.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, can't you just do

 

echo "<td>$" . number_format($member['money']) . "</td>\n";

 

?

[seany123]

no because using that...

 

it will show as 1000 or 10000 or 100000

 

 

but using $english_format_number = number_format();

 

the number will show as 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000

Did you even try the code? Because I'm sure it will indeed show as you wish.

number_format($number, 0, '.', ',');

Is this correct......

<?php

$member['money']="10000";


echo "<td>$" . number_format($member['money']) . "</td>\n";


?>

 

 

result

 

<td>$10,000</td>

 

same result using the number_format ellements

<?php

$member['money']="10000";


echo "<td>$" . number_format($member['money'] , '0','.',',') . "</td>\n";


?>

Well the top code you produced is giving $member['money']= a value in the code... i need to it call that value from my database, which is what its doing.... but then also show it in that format....

 

ill keep testing.

 

 

result

 

<td>$10,000</td>

 

same result using the number_format ellements

<?php

$member['money']="10000";


echo "<td>$" . number_format($member['money'] , '0','.',',') . "</td>\n";


?>

[seany123]

your right....

 

 

just tried:

 

echo "<td>$" . number_format($member['money']) . "</td>\n";

 

 

and it works.

 

 

thanks for all help.
