please help

[PROMO]

please help me with my (,) issue.
my numbers show up as 1000 or 100000.
i want them to have the commas so it be like this 1,000 or 100,000.

this is the code i have.

function prettynum($num,$dollar="0") {
// Basic send a number or string to this and it will add commas. If you want a dollar sign added to the
// front and it is a number add a 1 for the 2nd variable.
// Example prettynum(123452838,1)  will return $123,452,838 take out the ,1 and it looses the dollar sign.
        $out=strrev( (string)preg_replace( '/(\d{3})(?=\d)(?!\d*\.)/', '$1,' , strrev( $num ) ) );
      if ($dollar && is_numeric($num)){
         $out= "$".$out;
      }
   return $out;
}

number_format($number)  http://us3.php.net/number_format

i want to use that 1 though?
what would i have to change in my code to add commas?

[Zeggy]

Change this line: $out= "$".$out;
To: $out= "$".number_format($out);

function prettynum($num,$dollar="0") {
// Basic send a number or string to this and it will add commas. If you want a dollar sign added to the
// front and it is a number add a 1 for the 2nd variable.
// Example prettynum(123452838,1)  will return $123,452,838 take out the ,1 and it looses the dollar sign.
        $out=strrev( (string)preg_replace( '/(\d{3})(?=\d)(?!\d*\.)/', '$1,' , strrev( $num ) ) );
      if ($dollar && is_numeric($num)){
         $out= "$".number_format($out);
      }
   return $out;
}

that what i have now, still doesnt work.

how do you call the function ?

[PROMO]

$this->money = $worked['money'];<--- in classes.php

then   in header.php ------> $out = str_replace("<!_-money-_!>", $user_class->money, $out);

[leZourite]

err.. as i can see you never do a call to your prettynum function....

I don't know how the script is done, but nonetheless i think it should be like that (i don't see the point for a self reference to $out by the way... unless there is something assigned to that variable before) :

Code: [Select]

$out = str_replace("<!_-money-_!>", prettynum($user_class->money,1), $out);


[PROMO]

$out = str_replace("<!_-money-_!>", prettynum($user_class->money), $out);

that what i put.
OMFG!!! leZourite you are good!
thank you for helping me. I FINALLY GOT IT! YES.

ok on to the next problem.

u can use round() too

[leZourite]

he wanted the numbers to be formated, round doesn't do that (not that way)
