Number_format() should work fine as follows: <?php $foo = 1000001.2342 echo number_format( $foo ); ?> Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
