format_number() should do what you want http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Eddie -----Original Message----- From: Chris Mach [mailto:cjmach@gto.net] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 8:43 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: commas Is there a function that will strip or add commas? I'm trying to do calculations with attendance numbers of football games... for example: 33,153 right now I don't have a comma for the numbers in the database. So the above example is 33153 in my database. If I put the comma in, when I try to do calculations with php it sees it as 33 instead of 33,153. So is there a way to add that comma afterwards? Perhaps a string function at will put the comma in after the first 3 characters?
