Because I had a lot of problems with number_format, here is a working, simple and small replacement: <?php function FormatNumber($number, $decimals = 0, $thousand_separator = '&nbsp;', $decimal_point = '.') { $tmp1 = round((float) $number, $decimals); while (($tmp2 = preg_replace('/(\d+)(\d\d\d)/', '\1 \2', $tmp1)) != $tmp1) $tmp1 = $tmp2; return strtr($tmp1, array(' ' => $thousand_separator, '.' => $decimal_point)); } echo FormatNumber(-913578.1415, 2, '.', ',') . "\n"; ?> --was-- Because I had a lot of problems with number_format, here is a working, simple and small replacement: function FormatNumber($number, $decimals = 0, $thousand_separator = '&nbsp;', $decimal_point = '.') { $tmp1 = round((float) $number, $decimals); while (($tmp2 = preg_replace('/(\d+)(\d\d\d)/', '\1 \2', $tmp1)) != $tmp1) $tmp1 = $tmp2; return strtr($tmp1, array(' ' => $thousand_separator, '.' => $decimal_point)); } echo FormatNumber(-913578.1415, 2, '.', ',') .
