Thousand separator


AndieB

Recommended Posts

Hi all!


If I have a variable, lets call it $number, and it contains the number 21500.
Is there a function which can performe a thousand separator function, so the displayed result will
be 21 500?

And even at next level, million separator?

Thankful for anykind of help!

[code]$n = 12345.67;

echo number_format ($n, 2);[/code]

--> 12,345.67

Follow-Up question:


In Sweden we tend to use the , (comma) as a separator for decimals. I've noticed that PHP will not accept me doing a calculation using the comman (,) sign. (ie 30000 * 1,25), I must do this (30000 * 1.25).

Is this something one can change or do I have to live with it?


Thanks 4 any kind of help!

as far as i know, you have to live with it, just like all us non-americans have to get used to spelling the word 'colour' without the 'u' :)
