Hi all,

After seeing your suggestions and testing change types for ProdPrice filed, I guess the best solution is to remove commas
from CSV.txt files before to be loaded into MySQL DB. The prices now appear in the website, even though without commas
like is the normal situation when we refer to money quantities.

The thing is that I would like to show prices with commas but the PHP application that runs my website has a lot of PHP scripts,
I almost sure that the related script that manage the product prices is products.inc.php and within it I assume that the last
commands (box_content) are risponsables to do the format showed in the final presentation in the website.

These commands are shown below but I have no idea how to assing to modify these commands in order to see commas in prices
in the website.

PHP Code:
$box_content->assign("PRICEREFLINKDATA",$installDir['value'].'index.php?ps='.str_replace(" ", "+", strip_tags($_GET['ps'])).$pscatvar.'&pslow='.$lowprice.'&pshigh='.ceil($lowprice + $divideprice).$rshow);                                                                                                                                                                                                          
$box_content->assign("PRICEREFINE",$row_product['prodCurrency'].$lowprice.' - '.$row_product['prodCurrency'].ceil($lowprice + $divideprice));                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
$box_content->parse("prod.refine.priceli");                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
$box_content->assign("PRICEREFLINKDATA",$installDir['value'].'index.php?ps='.str_replace(" ", "+", strip_tags($_GET['ps'])).$pscatvar.'&pslow='.ceil($lowprice + $divideprice).'&pshigh='.ceil($lowprice + ($divideprice * 2)).$rshow);                                                                                                                                                                               
$box_content->assign("PRICEREFINE",$row_product['prodCurrency'].ceil($lowprice + $divideprice).' - '.$row_product['prodCurrency'].ceil($lowprice + ($divideprice * 2)));                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
$box_content->parse("prod.refine.priceli");

$box_content->assign("PRICEREFINE",$row_product['prodCurrency'].ceil($lowprice + ($divideprice * 2)).' - '.$row_product['prodCurrency'].ceil($lowprice + ($divideprice * 3)));                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
$box_content->parse("prod.refine.priceli");

$box_content->parse("prod.refine.priceli"); 
Thanks for your help so far and any help regarding this last question.
