use this

 <?php
 function money($value) {
     return "$".number_format($value);
 }

 $money = 2000.00;

 echo money($money);

 // returns $2,000.00

 ?>

use below function

$amount = '100000';
$amount = moneyFormatIndia( $amount );
echo $amount;

function moneyFormatIndia($num){
$explrestunits = "" ;
if(strlen($num)>3){
    $lastthree = substr($num, strlen($num)-3, strlen($num));
    $restunits = substr($num, 0, strlen($num)-3); // extracts the last three digits
    $restunits = (strlen($restunits)%2 == 1)?"0".$restunits:$restunits; // explodes the remaining digits in 2's formats, adds a zero in the beginning to maintain the 2's grouping.
    $expunit = str_split($restunits, 2);
    for($i=0; $i<sizeof($expunit); $i++){
        // creates each of the 2's group and adds a comma to the end
        if($i==0)
        {
            $explrestunits .= (int)$expunit[$i].","; // if is first value , convert into integer
        }else{
            $explrestunits .= $expunit[$i].",";
        }
    }
    $thecash = $explrestunits.$lastthree;
} else {
    $thecash = $num;
}
return $thecash; // writes the final format where $currency is the currency symbol.
}

// output 1,00,000
