Question

My (MySQL) tables have columns with currency values set as Decimal(10,2) with decimals separated by commas. However whenever i query them, php turns all my commas into periods and invalidates my results. Can I stop it doing that? It affects both my SELECT and my INSERT/UPDATE.

When I select, for example, 123,00 php turns it into 12300.00; same for inserting a number: i insert 123,00 but the value in the table becomes 12300,00 again. Is there a way to make comma the default decimal separator?

have you looked in to
http://php.net/manual/en/function.money-format.php

$number = 1234.56;

// let's print the international format for the en_US locale
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
echo money_format('%i', $number) . "\n";
