PHP Mortgage Calculator quirk

barryb · 11-8-05, 03:35 PM

I have had this PHP script working fine until now:
http://www.loansanddebts.com/mortgage_calculator.php

Source here:
http://www.loansanddebts.com/view.ph...lator_code.php

PowWeb's PHP upgrade must have affected it: now it outputs the letter "t" instead of a comma, for example:

Down Payment: $50t000.00

PHP quirk shows up here:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I think you're stretching it a bit to think PHP upgrade would cause this.

Yore supposed to substitute "thousands_sep" for the string (eg. ",") that you want to use as the thousands seperator.

From the manual:

Quote:

The first character of thousands_sep is used. For example, if you use bar as thousands_sep on the number 1000, number_format() will return 1b000.

Thanks, mitchind. That worked. Funny, it had worked fine for a year, and then all of a sudden started outputting the "t" instead of the comma. Nothing else changed except for the PHP upgrade -- so I jumped to blame it. All fixed -- thanks again.
