How to print in xxx,xxx.xx form?

[MichaelLewis]

I do $Bal = ($Bal - $row[3]) and then, to print the results,

<input readonly size=\"10\" style=\"color:black;text-align:right\" value=\"$Bal\">

But how do I get the format xxx.xxx.xx?

Thanks,
Michael

It looks like your using PHP. Perhaps you should ask the PHP Forum, but...

I disagree. "<input..." is an HTML tag.

Nevertheless I looked at the reference you gave me and tried it but it doesn't make any difference. I presume because that's a PHP matter but the "<input..." which prints the amount is HTML.

Is there not a way of defining the print format in the "<input>" tag?

Thanks,
Michael

Nope.

Certainly is! HOWEVER
This ->

value=\"$Bal\">

is PHP code!

Whoops! Bit of an excessive copying going on there!

There is no way to define format in the html input tag, you need to do that from your PHP code.

I wasn't referring to the <input> tag. The other code you provided is PHP

PHP

$bal = $bal - $row[3])
[red]$bal = number_format($bal, 2, ".", ",")[/red]

OK. Shame on me. I should not argue with the masters.

I thought the whole of the "<input..." tag was HTML.
Also, I had tried the number_format and it didn't work - I must have had an error and didn't see it. I must admit I was a bit rushed at the time.

I've tried it again under more calm circumstances and it works fine. ( It's easy when one does it right!)

Again, many thanks for you patient help.
