Question

I have the following function:

function getPostViews($postID){
    $count_key = 'post_views_count';
    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
    if($count==''){
        delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
        add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0');
        return __('0 View','mm');
    }
    return $count. __(' Views','mm'); 
}

How do I make it format a number to include a comma in the thousandths place? For example, 50000 should become 50,000.

Answer 1

Use number_format():

number_format($number);
