    Greetings,

    I have numbers stored in my MySQL database that look like this:
    5234552346234

    How can I get PHP to display that number as this?:
    5,234,552,346,234

    Thanks

    Use number_format().

    Example: 

    <?php
  $num = "9001";
  echo number_format($num);    // displays: 9,001
?>
    PHP:
    The fourth parameter specifies the separator. The default, of course, is a comma.
