Re: [PHP4BETA] Formatting numbers

AFAIK there´s currently no function doing this. You´ll have to write your own in php... wrote:

Well, almost. I probably shouldn't mention numbers, but strings in general. How can I do the following:

"abcde" ==> "a:b:c:d:e"                as in func("abcde", ":", 1)
"abcdef" ==> "ab:cd:ef"                as in func("abcdef", ":", 2)
"abcdefgh" ==> "abcd:ef:gh"            as in func("abcdefgh", ":", -2, 2)

without serious substring()ing in awkward loops? not to mention how much faster this is to do in C compared to PHP...

Is there a function for formatting numbers by inserting characters like , and .? If there isn't, does someone feel like writing it? :) I have something like the following in mind: str_format_number($number, $character, $every [, $maxnumber]) -- / adam maccabee trachtenberg | visit college life online \
