Currency Displayed With Commas

[Bigheadx]

Not sure if this helps but I would like to display this currency with commas, I was able to with this snippet of code:

$item[$count][$mod_strings['LBL_PDF_ITEM_EXT_PRICE']] = $symbol .number_format(round($currency->convertFromDollar($line_item->discount_usdollar * $line_item->quantity),2),2,'.',',');

This will display whatever quantity displayed like this: example: 24,000.00 instead of 24000.00

But later on in the script this displays the total amount, is there a way to do the same?

$total[3]['TITLE'] = $mod_strings['LBL_PDF_TOTAL'];
$total[3]['VALUE'] = $currency->symbol. $focus->total;
