I want to return a value of a variable, but when I enter the number_format function in the variable, it ends up adding 2 zeros at the end of the value
$valor = 5300000; // Aqui o número só está sem a formatação | aqui só adicionaria a virgula e o ponto e ficaria: 53,000.00
$valor_f = number_format($valor, 2, ",", ".");
It is returning me 5,300,000.00, I would like it to return 53,000.00.
If you need to change the number "five million and three hundred thousand" into "fifty-three thousand" obviously that will not be just formatting, because they are different values.
In this very specific case you just divide by 100:
$valor_f = number_format($valor/100, 2, ",", "."); // 53,000.00
But I do not guarantee that this will work for all the cases you need, so it's rather unusual to want to get another value from the formatting.
Let's take steps. 1st convert an integer to float:
$valor = sprintf("%.2f", 5300000);
2nd place number_format:
$valor_f = number_format($valor, 2, ",", ".");
Note that in this way, you can replace the 5300000 with any other number.
