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

number_format() returns a formatted version of number. 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 two parameters are given, number will be formatted with decimals decimals with a dot (".") in front, and a comma (",") between every group of thousands.

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);
// 1,234

// French notation
$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56

$number = 1234.5678;

// english notation without thousands seperator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57

?>
