That'll just result in the number 1, though, since the conversion to
"float"
will stop at the comma.
If you know that it's just going to be commas in there, a simple
str_replace(',','',$number) will get rid of the commas. Then PHP's type
juggling will take care of the rest for you and treat it like a FLOAT if
it
needs to be. Or you can then use settype() to ensure it's a float.

*oops* You are right John, I pulled the trigger too soon in myresponse.
The brain skipped the comma entirely.
