[PHP] Formating a Double
Greetings All, I am trying to format a double to use thousands seperators and such. number_format does not appear to be working properly for this. My guess is cause I am trying to format a double rather than a string. Is there anything out there that will allow me to format a double to include a comma as a thousands seperator. Thanks. -- Blessed Be Phillip The House has passed a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like ATT, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign. Please contaxct your Senators to defeat this bill in the Senate. http://www.savetheinternet.com http://www.coanews.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=995 http://www.coanews.org/internetfreedom.html?page=netfreedom http://www.gnn.tv/headlines/9484/ http://www.dearaol.com/

[/snip] http://www.php.net/printf Printf() doesn't do thousands separation as the OP is requiring (unless they've added that feature since I last read the manual -- and yes I'm too lazy to go look right now ;) From the number_format doc though... string number_format ( float number [, int decimals [, string dec_point, string thousands_sep]] ) And if I'm not mistaken, PHP doesn't distinguish between floats and doubles and treats them all as doubles. Number_format() should work fine as follows: ?php $foo = 101.2342 echo number_format( $foo ); ?
