Excellent! I looked and could not find this simple one line code.
Comment by hermes on 2005-05-02
you might want to put the $ before it though...as the way it's currently written it will just output
9,999.99 instead of $9,999.99
so:
echo "$".number_format($total, 2, '.', ',');
where $total is the variable you want to format.

to display currency with parentheses when the number is negative and the dollar sign within the parenthesis you can use:
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US');
money_format('%(#0n',$total)

This solved a problem I was having with an application, but only after I read the accompanying comments.
