formatting numbers

When I print a variable it appears on my screen like this 832873673. How can I format the variable, so I see it on my screen as: 832 873 673? (thousand seperator)

[code=php]<?PHP
$var = "832873673";
$output = chunk_split($var,"3");
echo $output;
?>[/code]

@Da_WarriahAug 11.2003 — actually according to the php.net chunk_split() function you posted, that would give:

832

873

673

because the string end defaults to rn

[code=php]$output = chunk_split($var,"3", " ");[/code]

that would do what you wanted?

@jerichoauthorAug 12.2003 — Thanks. I applied pyro's original code, but it doesn't do the trick.

I have a number 10000 and after echo chunk_split($variable,"3");

I got 100 00.

Not good. The space should be counted "from the other side".

How to format it right?

$var = 10000;
$number = number_format($var, " ", " ", " ");
[/code]

@jerichoauthorAug 12.2003 — Thanks! This works just as it should!

@jerichoauthorAug 12.2003 — OK, how about when I use float(12,2) number? How can I format it so it looks like this: 1 000 000.00?

When I apply $number = number_format($var, " ", " ", " "); the 2 decimal numbers are cut off.

@DaiWelshAug 13.2003 — Check the documentation for the function [URL=http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php]here[/URL] . The format you want is probably

number_format($var,2,'.',' ')

btw, the original suggestion given was not strictly correct as param 2 should be an int.

HTH,

Dai
