Summary:

This Smarty modifier is essentially a wrapper around the php function [number_format]. However, unlike number_format, it takes special care of floating point numbers by preserving the existing fractional component (e.g. 123.456).

Usage:

  |commify[:decimal_digits[:decimal_char[:thousands_char]]]

  decimal_digits is the number of digits to include after the decimal.  Setting this to -1 (the default) means preserve all digits.
  decimal_char is the seperator between the integer and fractional components (default: ".")
  thousands_char is the seperator between each group of three digits in the integer component (default: ",")

Example:

// php file

  $smarty->assign( 'number', '12345.678' );

// template

  Number format: {$number|number_format}
  Commify: {$number|commify}
  Fixed: {$number|commify:2}
  European: {$number|commify:-1:',':'.'}

// output

  Number format: 12,345
  Commify: 12,345.678
  Fixed: 12,345.68
  European: 12.345,678
