change a number like 250,000 into 250K

[jwk811]

is there a way i could change big numbers into a number ending in K instead of 250,000, 250K. or 1,000,000, 1MIL
is this possible?

[code]
$num=str_replace(",","",$num);
$num=str_replace("000000","M",$num);
$num=str_replace("000","K",$num);
[/code]

if you number does not have commas in it:
[code]<?php
$ext = ''; //initialize
if (($num / 1000000) >= 1) { //test for millions
    $num = $num / 1000000;
    $ext = 'MIL';
} else if (($num / 1000) >= 1) { //test for thousands
    $num = $num / 1000;
    $ext = 'K';
}
echo number_format($num) . $ext; //number_format() adds commas
?>[/code]

Here´s another way:

ex
[code=php:0]<?php

$number = "250,000";

list($money, $type) = explode(',', $number, 2);

if ($type == "000") $money .= "K";
if ($type == "000,000") $money .= "MIL";

echo $money;

?>[/code]

thanks! they all work great but theres one problem.. when i put in something like 1,250,000 it doesnt come out right.. would you know how i could do this?

[jwk811]

so to get rid of commas all i would have to do it do explode(","); ?

[jwk811]

could i have it so if they put it in in either with commas or not it will still work? and also the decimal thing. thanks!

here ya go... i just made this for ya...

[code]
<?
function bignumbers($i){
if(strlen($i)<=3) return $i;
$a=array('','K','Mil');
$i=explode(",", $i);
$c=count($i);
return $i[0].$a[$c-1];
}

echo bignumbers('1,000,000');
echo bignumbers('1,000');
echo bignumbers('1');
?>
[/code]

thanks but what about the comma thing? when i call the functon with a number that doesnt have the comma it just comes up as is..

If you have, as in your example, a value of 1,250,000, do you want to show that as

1.25M
or
1,250K

[taith]

[code]
function bignumbers($i){
if(strlen($i)<=3) return $i;
if(strpos(",",$i)===false) $i=number_format($i);
$a=array('','K','M');
$i=explode(",", $i);
$c=count($i);
return $i[0].$a[$c-1];
}

echo bignumbers('100000');
echo bignumbers('100,000');
[/code]

[jwk811]

yes for the decimal part i want it to come out as 1.25MIL if someone typed in 1,250,000.. and taith with the new code you gave its missing the end (K or MIL) for the number [b]with[/b] the commas.. and the other one is now coming out fine, lol.
