Good day!

I want to ask if how does my Amount output has a ',' semicolon.

Here is my code:

$Amount = round(($Hours/8)* $Rate, 2); 

the output of this code is: 3884.34

I want the output is : 3,884.34

Thank you

Then it would no longer be a number; number variables can't have non-number characters (ie comma (,)) in them, because of the way they are stored. You'll have to use a string for that kind of representation.

You can write a function that would convert the number to a string, and then insert the commas in the appropriate positions; implode() and explode() are some functions that you might find useful for this. You don't have to use implode() and explode(), but it's just an idea.

Thank you...

I think there should be functions that helps you show numbers with thousands-divider and stuff, I just don't remember which ones. They will also allow showing comma as decimal separator as some countries (as Sweden) uses (which don't use thousands-dividers instead)

edit!
I found it, it's PHP: number_format - Manual !

usage:

$Amount = round(($Hours/8)* $Rate, 2); 
echo number_format($Amount, 2, ".", ",");

Try number_format($value, 2, ".", ",");
