[FX.php List] Formatting numbers in FX.php

[Allyson Olm]

Hi Bob,

You can use number_format()

Ex.

$num = 125489;
echo number_format($num);

Subject: [FX.php List] Formatting numbers in FX.php

Hi list,

Is there a way to get FX.php to return the formatting that FileMaker  
uses with numbers? In CDML, I could just add ",format" to a tag to  
have a number displayed using the same formatting as the database  
itself.

For example, with a number like 12000, I'd like it to display as  
"12,000"; I'm hoping not to have to write a calc script to insert  
commas or dollar signs.

Does such a beast exist? Failing that, does anyone have a calc  
they've already done that will format my number with thousands  
separators?

Thanks a lot,

Bob Patin
