Decimals & Leading Zero Question

[Kon-Tiki]

Hey,I got some numbers to perform some basic maths on. Little problem with it, is that some numbers are regular ints, while others look like this: "1,234". If I do those maths on the latter type, they'll lose everything after the comma. I want to keep everything behind the comma as well, though.Also, they have leading zeroes. How can I keep those as well?Thanks in advance,Kon-Tiki

You can use intval or floatval to convert a numeric string to a number. intval or floatval stops at a comma, so before using those you can use str_replace to remove the commas. You can use number_format to format a number with grouped thousands, and use str_pad to pad zeros on the left.
