How can I add commas to numbers in PHP - php

Question

I would like to know how can I add comma's to numbers. To make my question simple.
I would like to change this:
1210 views
To:
1,210 views
and :
14301
to
14,301
and so on for larger numbers. Is it possible with a php function?

Answer 1

from the php manual http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
I'm assuming you want the english format.
<?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 with a decimal point and without thousands seperator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57
?>
my 2 cents

Answer 2

The Following code is working for me, may be this is helpful to you.
$number = 1234.56;
echo number_format($number, 2, '.', ',');
//1,234.56

Answer 3

$number = 1234.56;
//Vietnam notation(comma for decimal point, dot for thousand separator)
$number_format_vietnam = number_format($number, 2, ',', '.');
//1.234,56

Answer 4

This is a bangladeshi format
First create a function
function numberFormat($number, $decimals=0)
{
// $number = 555;
// $decimals=0;
// $number = 555.000;
// $number = 555.123456;
if (strpos($number,'.')!=null)
{
$decimalNumbers = substr($number, strpos($number,'.'));
$decimalNumbers = substr($decimalNumbers, 1, $decimals);
}
else
{
$decimalNumbers = 0;
for ($i = 2; $i <=$decimals ; $i++)
{
$decimalNumbers = $decimalNumbers.'0';
}
}
// return $decimalNumbers;
$number = (int) $number;
// reverse
$number = strrev($number);
$n = '';
$stringlength = strlen($number);
for ($i = 0; $i < $stringlength; $i++)
{
if ($i%2==0 && $i!=$stringlength-1 && $i>1)
{
$n = $n.$number[$i].',';
}
else
{
$n = $n.$number[$i];
}
}
$number = $n;
// reverse
$number = strrev($number);
($decimals!=0)? $number=$number.'.'.$decimalNumbers : $number ;
return $number;
}
Call the function
* numberFormat(5000000, 2) // 50,00,000.00
* numberFormat(5000000) // 50,00,000

Answer 5

Often, if a number is big enough to have commas in it, you might want to do without any numbers after a decimal point - but if the value you are showing could ever be small, you would want to show those decimal places. Apply number_format conditionally, and you can use it to both add your commas and clip off any irrelevant post-point decimals.
if($measurement1 > 999) {
//Adds commas in thousands and drops anything after the decimal point
$measurement1 = number_format($measurement1);
}
Works well if you are showing a calculated value derived from a real world input.

Answer 6

Give it a try:
function format_my_number() {
$result = number_format(14301,2,',','.');
return $result;
}
