Number Formatting

I have everything working Ok on my PHP page.

I get it to go to my mySQL database and return the Attendance value from the database:

<? =$rs["Attendance"]; ?>

This works OK and gives mea value of '1234'.

What I would like it to do is when it pulls it across from the dtabase is to format it so it reads 1,234 on the page.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks stolzyboy but I had a look a that and could only find examples of where people have explictly hard coded a number into a variable :

$val1 = 1.233;

echo number_format($val1,2,",",".");

What i need is something that I can format using my code:

<? =$rs["Attendance"]; ?> )

I have tried using number_format with my code but I cant get it to work etc? e.g <? number_format(=$rs["Attendance"]; ); ?>

Any more suggestions?

Thanks in advance

then use
<?php
echo number_format($rs["Attendance"], 2, "", "", ".");
?>

Cheers laserlight!
