I am new to php and I have this code that will supposedly display floating numbers with comma.
I have the following part of my code.

<?php echo "          

            <table>

                     <tr>

                     <td>Bracket</td>

                     <td>Detailed Computation</td>

                     <td>Total</td>

                     </tr>

                 <tr>

                     <td>41- Up</td>

                     <td>Commodity Charge: {$cc_fortyone_above} x {$diff_fortyone_above} cu. m.</td>

                     <td>{$total_fortyone_above}</td>

                </tr> 

     </table>";

  ?>

My Answer:
php
$number = 123456.789;
$formatted_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', ',');
echo "The formatted number is: $formatted_number";


This code will output:

The formatted number is: 123,456.79


The `number_format` function in PHP is used to format numbers with specified decimal points, decimal separator, and thousands separator. In this example, the number `123456.789` is formatted with 2 decimal points, a decimal separator of `.` and a thousands separator of `,`.
