How to replace dot with comma in price format in php

I have a price format like 1.100.000 Now I want to replace all dots with comma so it should look like this- 1,100,000. To achieve this I tried this code-

<?php
$number=1.100.000;
$number=str_replace('.',',',$number);
?>

But it is not working. Can any one help.?

The best way is number_format() function. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php

Follow this exemple:

$number = 1234.56;

// english notation (default)
$english_format_number = number_format($number);
// 1,235

// French notation with thousands separator
$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56

$number = 1234.5678;

// english notation without thousands separator
$english_format_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
// 1234.57

To make it a little bit more robust, you can only replace the dot only if it has 3 following numbers, so it does not replace cents. Try:

$number = "1.100.000.00";
$number = preg_replace('/\.(\d{3})/', ',$1', $number);
var_dump($number);

OutPut -

string(12) "1,100,000.00"

Your function is not working because 

$number=1.100.000;  
var_dump($number);

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.000' (T_DNUMBER)

is not a string and str_replace() only works on string value

So you have to do this 

$number="1.100.000";  (type = string)

You can use RegExp

preg_replace('/\./', ',', $number);

This would replace all '.' dots with ','.

Missing the quotes.Try this - 

$number="1.100.000";
$number=str_replace('.',',',$number);
var_dump($number);

OutPut -

string(9) "1,100,000"
