    I made a calculator and i use number format to fix the numbers so its understandable.

    The problem is that when it reached more then 8,000 to & by 60% it is using the 8 and not the 8,000 so its giveing the wrong answer its giveing $12.80 instead of $12,800

    is there a way to fix this. I can provide a url to my site if you need to see it.

    i have the number format wrote like this

    <?php echo number_format("$var","2",".",",") ; ?>

    Convert your number format from 8,000 to 8000 when you do any calculations.
    Number with '.' in PHP indicate fractional number.
    There is no number in PHP with ',' - it is only understandable variant for us.
    That's why, you number must be with out any '.' or ',' separators.
    Easy step to convert is to use str_replace(',','',$var).
