Trouble with number_format PHP

Question

I'm having trouble with this line:

print "PRINT for row[EUROS]: " .$row['EUROS'] . "<BR>";
print "PRINT for the format: " .number_format($row['EUROS'], 2, ',', '') ."<BR>";

The number is 24,7 , but it shows me 24.00 . I thought number_format would help me with the , separator, but it doesn't work...

Any idea on how to take the decimal values?

Answer 1

use str_replace(',', '.', $row['EUROS']) to replace comma with dot and then use number_format . Cheers!

The third parameter in number_format is the dec_point wich separates decimal point in the output string but not in the input.

Answer 2

"24,7" is not a number, it's a string with a comma in it, which is not a well formed number . The best meaning PHP can extract from that is 24 , with the rest being garbage.

Don't have numbers with commas in them.
