could you cast as a float/double before inserting? $number = (double)
$string;
don't know what would happen to the comma, but i assume it would just get
removed??
just a guess/thought

Subject: number_format problem

I want to show a number from a database in the format x,xxx.00 in a
textfield, then if it is changed by the user I want to post the value of
the
number to a decimal field. However, once you number_format the number it
becomes a string, and numbers like 3,379.90 give a value of 3 when posted
to
the database, which is hinted at in the notes on number_format. I suppose
I
need a string to number function - can someone tell me what this might be
called please?
Regards,
John
