Remove decimal places

[EchoFool]

I have this:

 

$Gain = number_format($Gain,0);

 

 

To remove the decimal places.. but it adds the "," symbol so:

 

1000 becomes 1,000. Which then causes my UPDATE query to crash because of the symbol. Is there a way to remove the comma but still removing the decimal places at the same time?

There are a few potential solutions. 

1. Check php.net under the number_format function. Check in the user's notes to see if anyone has a better function for what you want.

2. Look up tutorials online about formatting numbers.

3. Look up tutorals ON that function and see if there is a way to use it to get what you need.

4. Use regular Expressions or substr to find and and remove the ',' symbol inside the string/number.

many ways

 

<?php
$n = 123.456;

echo round ($n);      // 123
echo '<br>';

echo intval ($n);      // 123
echo '<br>';

echo floor ($n);       // 123
echo '<br>';

echo (int)$n;          // 123
echo '<br>';

?>
