Convert posted value to decimal with number_format

I have a number as 10,000 in my post data, and I want to store in db as 10000.00

I currently have the following: (in Kohana)

number_format(input::post('amount'),2,'.','');

but this gives me the error:

ErrorException [ Notice ]: A non well formed numeric value encountered

Since $_POST['amount'] = 10,000

Any suggestions how can I solve this?

The comma is causing the problem, you could strip it out using str_replace

number_format(str_replace(',', '', input::post('amount')), 2, '.', '');
