Emanuele,
Some parts of the world use the coma as the separator between whole numbers
and decimals (e.g. Germany & France) and php is formating the number
according to this style. I surmise that the numbers stored in your database
have been stored with comas separating the thousands from the hundreds
(English & US style), so you'll need to grab the number, eliminate the coma
(something like $num=ereg_replace(",","",$num) will do this but there is
likely a more direct php command for this), then when you want to display
the number use number_format($num,2,".",",").
Hope this helps.
Hugh
