calculation help needed

[spires]

Hi

 

I have 3 strings.

$discount2 = '12,000';

$discount3 = '1.00';

$discount4 = '10,000.01';

 

I need to add these together.

$less234discount = $discount2 + $discount3 + $discount4;
$less234discount = number_format($less234discount, 2);

 

BUT, it will not calculate past the comma.

It only sees:

12, 1, 10

NOT

12,000

1.00

10,000.01

 

 

How can I add these up correctly?

 

Thanks for your help

try like this

$discount2 = '12,000';
$discount3 = '1.00';
$discount4 = '10,000.01';

$result = str_replace(',','',$discount2)+str_replace(',','',$discount3)+str_replace(',','',$discount4);
$result  = number_format($result, 2);
