note 7914 modified in number_format by danbeck

Here's an easy workaround if you need to have a string, instead of a single char, as thousands separator. I need to have a space that won't be wrapped, so I want to have " " instead of a " " there. To accomplish this, do the following: $formatted_number_string = ereg_replace(" "," ",$number_format($number,2,"."," ")) http://www.php.net/manual/number-format.php
