Dynamically convert a 4-digit or more number to include comma seperations

[ladobeugm]

I know there's a way to do this but I can't seem to figure it out. How can I make sure when I'm representing a numeric object that it includes the comma after three digits? So that '1000' reads '1,000'?

When asking this sort of question, you should say which server
technology you're using. In PHP, it's done with number_format():

Found it!

You do something like this:
<?php echo number_format($row_rsRecordset['number'],0,'.',','); ?>

instead of:
<?php echo $row_rsRecordset['number']; ?>
