number format in SQL INSERT - php

Question

Hi guys i need some support on number format in SQL INSERT INTO
i need to convert {$data['rank']['points']} as number format, so that instead of it showing as 5467389 it converts it to 54,673,89
the data is being imported from API Data
this is my code
$host="hostname"; // Host name
$username="database"; // Mysql username
$password="password"; // Mysql password
$db_name="dbname"; // Database name
$tbl_name="table"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// API Data
$url = "http://api.erpk.org/citizen/profile/3121752.json?key=Yn3AsG80";
$json = $json = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json, true);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
// Insert data into mysql
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name(citid, citname, rankpoints)VALUES('{$data['id']}', '{$data['name']}', '{$data['rank']['points']}')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if successfully insert data into database, displays message "Successful".
if($result){
echo "Successful";
echo "<BR>";
echo "<a href='supplies_insert.php'>Back to main page</a>";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}

Answer 1

Try this:
$query = sprintf("INSERT INTO `%s` (citid, citname, rankpoints) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s')",
mysql_real_escape_string($tbl_name),
$data['id'],
mysql_real_escape_string($data['name']}),
mysql_real_escape_string(number_format($data['rank']['points'])));
$result = mysql_query($query);

You can use php's number_format() function if I understand your requirement correctly. Let me know if that's not what you want.
