Re: [PHP] number_format question
What you need to do with the input number is to do an ereg_replace() and eliminate the commas from the string, then use the string variable where needed. Then, when you want to display the variable, use the number_format() function.

[PHP] number_format question
I using number_format where I need to turn a number say 123456789 into 123,456,789 and it works just fine. I also need it to strip the decimal out if someone enters it. I.E 123456.00 would become 123,456 the command I'm using right now is: number_format($number, ,); If I enter 123456.00 it comes out as 123. Did I miss something?

RE: [PHP] number_format question
what about str_replace(,, , $str) before you pass the value to number_format()? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:ed;home.homes2see.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 9:37 AM To: Jay Blanchard Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] number_format question Tried it.

How many integers can you name that have commas in them??? In other words, you have a string, so PHP converts it to an integer to pass to number format. Thus you only get the integer part up to the first comma. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Number_Format Question
I have a number like this 0.51 and I would like it to display without the leading 0. How can I do this? Thanks.

There are lots of solutions. $num = 0.51; $num_parts = explode( '.', $num ); $num_new = '.' . $num_parts[1]; Or if it's always going to be a number b/w 0 and 1 then you could use substr() to get the part you want. You could also use something like ereg_replace(). Someone else may have a solution that's better. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
