AbraCadaver Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 If the 15,000 is supposed to be fifteen thousand then do not store it withe the comma. Just put data in the database, no formatting.

techker Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 it doesn't work if i only put 15000 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/282785-price-format-in-database/#findComment-1452973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 it doesn't work if i only put 15000 I meant you need to change the data in the database, not your query. 1. What is the column type of Retail_price? 2. Why is there a comma? Is it a thousands separator or a decimal?

techker Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Reatail_price ya its a thousand separator.. ok i guess i will..so no decimal or comma's right just plain numeric Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/282785-price-format-in-database/#findComment-1452978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Reatail_price ya its a thousand separator.. ok i guess i will..so no decimal or comma's right just plain numeric Well it depends. If you are storing prices then you could pick the DECIMAL column type to store 15000.99 for example because the decimal is part of the data (it separates the whole number from the fractional) and can't really be calculated from a string of numbers like 1500099. The comma as a thousands separator is only format and can be added when displayed because you can consistently determine where to place the commas.
