Okay, so what’s wrong with PHP’s [fphp]money_format[/fphp] function?

Or even better intl’s NumberFormatter

If you use my script then you got output like that

Input = 152469854
Output= 15,24,69,854

Input= 12541362547589
Output=1,25,41,36,25,47,589

My script is simple and easy.

Except, the money_format function can do that–and correctly (unlike your output example where you grouped numbers by twos instead of threes). It’s rare that rewriting a built-in function is necessary. Although it might be a good exercise on occasion, the built-in functions are typically more efficient. They are there so you don’t have to waste time building them and can get to building your site/app more quickly.
