Question

I have a column in the database called price that stores values like 200000 and I’ve been able to successfully use MySQL to split this up by comma like 200,000 but my understanding is that this is not a very good use of MySQL syntax and could be a disaster on larger queries.

How do I take this as a PHP variable and perform the same thing?

Example: echo '<title>$' . $price . '.00- ' .

Answer 1

Use number_format()

echo '<title>$' . number_format($price) . '.00';
