How do I convert output of number_format back to numbers in PHP?

Question

PHP can\'t recognize 1,200.00(generated by number_format) but only 1200.00,

What\'s the general solution for this problem?

Answer 1

You could do $num = (float) str_replace(',', '', $num); Basically, just get rid of the commas, and then cast it as a numeric type (float or int).
