Splitting thousands

tm · 05-17-2006, 11:37 AM

Hi,

Just wondering if there was a function (pre-built in to PHP , or created) that split thousands by ','s; eg

100000
would be
100,000

950000000
would turn into
950,000,000

I think you get the idea. So is there one that exists?

Thanks,

TM

PHP Code:

  $number = '123456789';

$number = strrev(chunk_split (strrev($number), 3, ','));

echo $number;

Would echo 123,456,789

It reverses the $number and adds a comma after every 3, then reverses it back.

There's also
number_format if you want something built in

PHP Code:

  //string number_format ( float number [, int decimals [, string dec_point, string thousands_sep]] )

echo number_format(10000000,0,'',',');

//results in 10,000,000 

//default behaviour

echo number_format(10000000);

//results in 10,000,000
