Interesting number_format.

Number_format (Number,decimals,decimalpoint,separator)

There are four parameters,
The first and second parameters are required, and the third and fourth are optional. But the third and fourth of the actual tests must both be present, either set or not set.
No third and fourth parameters are set:

Number_format (13526, 2); Echo 13,526.00;

If you add this number to the process, you will only get a 13!.
Set the third and fourth parameters

Number_format (23125, 2, '. ', '); Echo 23125.00;

Then the processing of the number after the operation will be executed correctly!
The third parameter of the function indicates what is represented by the ' decimal ' position, which can be defaulted. , can also be set to ', ' and other symbols. Ps: But I'm sure no one would do that.
The fourth one indicates what to use to divide the numbers every thousand. If there are no special requirements, it is best to set the operation to NULL.
