commas(in float/decimal) and sql escaping

[aopen]

It is not possible to enter '1,000.52' into mysql (as float or double). So it has to be escape. (1000.52).

How do you escape? I know about str_replace(). Interesting to know what other function will do it.

Thanks

[man]str_replace/man is the only function I can think of, since that's what you're doing here.
