changing thouthands_sep globaly

[valenok]

I need the number groups separated with space
instead of comma. Number format wouldn't do as the numbers amount on the page is pretty big.

P.s atm the number isnt being formated at all

<?
$num = 7123487943218671;
echo $num;
// outputs 7123487943218671 instead of 7 123 487 943 218 671


Thx ahead.

I think I'm right in saying number format would work in this syntax

$format = number_format($num, 0, '.', ' ');

echo $format;

0 indicating how many decimal places, the '.' representing the decimal point, and the ' ' determining what should be used as a group separator.

Having tried it out, it returned 7 123 487 943 218 671, as it should do I imagine. This probably doesn't help but it's something to consider.

Thanks for your reply, but for emphases - I'll repeat

Number_format wouldn't do as the numbers amount on the page is pretty big
and I don't want to apply number_format to each numerical output.

Anything useful ?
I thought of changing locales with LC_NUMERIC
to one with space thousands separator, but couldn't find one.

what do you mean? give me an example.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10? like this?

every 3 symbols (separate thousands from)
1234567 as 1 234 567
separated group numbers ( hundreds, thousands, millions)
