Extracting a numerical value with a comma

[laredotornado@zipmail.com]

Hi,

I have a string value, "1,250" (one thousand, two hundred and fifty).
Is there a PHP function I can apply to this string that will give me
the value 1250 in a variable? I've tried "intval", but I get a value
of 1 (one), at least in PHP 4.

Thanks for any help, - Dave

<?php
$foo = "1,250";
$bar = intval(str_repl ace(',', '', $foo) );

printf("foo = %s, bar = %d\n", $foo, $bar);
?>
