It looks like the comma (',') is in this case interpreted as the decimal
separator,
not (as you apparently suppose) the grouping separator.
>> You have a difference in the "locale" between your SQL Server and PHP.
You
might want to try getting e.g. 14.133,00 (to the cent) or tell PHP to
use 14,133.00
See setlocale() and localeconv() and related in the docs.

> I have a very dumb question that I'm puzzled with. I am creating a
script that is returning tow values from a DB...The values will either be a
number or the word resident so i'm checking for that first...if they are
indeed numbers they need to be added together storing the sum in a variable
which will give the total later in the script. For some reason I keep
getting back a very incorrect value when using the script below:
>
> $total_state_income = 0;
>
> $row['CA_state_source_income'] = "14,133";
> $row['GA_state_source_income'] = "Resident";
> $row['IL_state_source_income'] = "10,556";
>
> if(!strchr($row['CA_state_source_income'],"Resident"))
> {
> $total_state_income = $total_state_income +
(int)$row['CA_state_source_income'];
> }
>
> if(!strchr($row['GA_state_source_income'],"Resident"))
> {
> $total_state_income = $total_state_income +
(int)$row['GA_state_source_income'];
> }
>
> if(!strchr($row['IL_state_source_income'],"Resident"))
> {
> $total_state_income = $total_state_income +
(int)$row['IL_state_source_income'];
> }
>
>
> When I check the value of $total_state_income it equals 24 not the
expected 24,689.
>
> The datatype of the values returned from SQL Server are Varchar so I
tried typecasting the values to integers before adding them to the running
total.
