Changing 9.99 to 9,99

[brooky]

Dear people,

I have a problem...

I have the following code to set the PHP into Spanish mode.

setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES");

My problem is that prices are entered into the database as for example:

9.99

If php has to add together two prices from the database e.g.

9.99 + 5.00

The result equals 14.99 but is formatted as 14, 99

Later in the code this figure may need to be added to a number from the database.

e.g. 2.00 + 14, 99

But or course this cannot be done as each figure is differently formatted.

Can I set php to format resultant calculatuions to say 14.99 instead of 14, 99 whilst in spanish mode?

Or even better format any numbers with decimals to the 14, 99 format.

Yes

$result = number_format(14.99+5.00, 2, '.');

i dont think that will work. might want to use:

$result = number_format(14.99+5.00, 2, '.', '');
