The number_format function requires the first argument to be float, but as there is a comma in values php can't define the fractional part of the number. So firstly you need to remove the comma and then convert string to float type. 

<?php
$item1="50,000.00";
$item2="1,000.00";

$itemFloat1 = floatval(str_replace(",", "", $item1));
$itemFloat2 = floatval(str_replace(",", "", $item2));

echo $total= number_format($itemFloat1 + $itemFloat2, 2);
