SYNOPSIS
string number_format (float $number, [int $decimals])
DESCRIPTION
string number_format (float $number, int $decimals, string $dec_point = ".", string $thousands_sep = ",") This function accepts either one, two, or four parameters (not three): If only one parameter is given, $number will be formatted without decimals, but with a comma (",") between every group of thousands.

If all four parameters are given, $number will be formatted with $decimals decimals, $dec_point instead of a dot (".") before the decimals and $thousands_sep instead of a comma (",") between every group of thousands.

EXAMPLES
Example #1 number_format(3) Example For instance, French notation usually use two decimals, comma (',') as decimal separator, and space (' ') as thousand separator. This is achieved with this line : <?php $number = 1234.56; // english notation (default) $english_format_number = number_format($number); // 1,235 // French notation $nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' '); // 1 234,56 $number = 1234.5678; // english notation without thousands separator $english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', ''); // 1234.57 ?>
