In Perl, you can use the underscore, e.g. $num = '123_456_789', but that doesn't work in PHP. > > I can't find an answer anywhere, so I hope the answer isn't "no". :\ Unfortunately, it is, see <http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php> resp. <http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php>. I can think of the following workaround for variable and defined constant values number('123_456_789') where function number($num) { return str_replace('_', '', $num); } Perhaps it makes sense to file a feature request to extend the syntax of number literals on <https://bugs.php.net/>. -- Christoph M.
