Printf() doesn't do thousands separation as the OP is requiring (unless
they've added that feature since I last read the manual -- and yes I'm
too lazy to go look right now ;)
>From the number_format doc though...
string number_format ( float number [, int decimals [, string
dec_point, string thousands_sep]] )
And if I'm not mistaken, PHP doesn't distinguish between floats and
doubles and treats them all as doubles. Number_format() should work fine
as follows:
<?php
$foo = 1000001.2342
echo number_format( $foo );
?>
Cheers,
Rob.
