Inserting commas between large numbers

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm currently working with PHP and a mySQL database. At the moment, i'm pulling out numbers from the database in the region of 20-30 million.. ie:

20293827

Does anyone know of any way to put commas inside the number to make it clearer to read?

ie.

20,293,827

I bet there's a simple solution out there, but I'm at a loss at the moment!

Thanks,

Jonathan

$unformatednum = "4832722";

$hits = number_format($unformatednum, ",");

$hits will be your formated number with commas. (4,832,722)
