format number on echo row

[pwaterma]

I am having a heck of a time finding out how to format numbers displayed from a query. Can someone show me how to make format Salary with commas?

Much appreciated

<td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Salary']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Cap_hit']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Cap_hit_preJune']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Cap_hit_postJune']; ?></td>

Look at using one of these two functions:

i have looked at these and others. they all appear to be formatting a value that is manually defined.

$number = 1234.56;

i don't understand how to apply it to $row_Recordset1['Salary'];

<td><?php echo number_format($row_Recordset1['Salary']); ?></td>
