I use this HTTP client class that implicitly composes HTTP requests like
that when it is used to upload files emulating Web forms.

I have a MySQL DB that stores currency values as doubles. I want to
display the values in the #,##0.00 format. What is the best way to do that?

I'd use number_format, money_format is OS dependent.

Oliver,

Yes I also analyzed the log files from apache, but all they are telling me
is that I am accesing the file "mail.php" with my browser. Error.log stays
empty.

I wish that it were possible to reproduce an error when accessing mail()
that would somewhat look like this:

"cannot access /usr/sbin/sendmail: permission denied", then at least I know
what needs to be done. However I doubt that my php configuration is
forbidden to access this file.

Hello Andy,

did you take a look into the apache log files?

That isn't very rare, sbin is a folder that only root can
access(atleast that's how it was designed)

Since you can execute the PHP CLI binary, you have SSH access to the machine.
You first should check the permissions of the sendmail binary with
ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
and check the output.

If you have access to the root account, then you could also try to su
to the user PHP is running on and then try to access the sendmail
binary.

Thanks to the suggestions, I use number_format($my_number, 2) to format the
number in an edit field. Now I need to reenter it into MySQL. How should I use
preg_replace to remove the commas?

This removes the commas *and* the decimal point:

preg_replace('/\D/', '', $str)

In reviewing patterns, I cannot find the purpose of the "/" character in the above.

Many thanks....

Todd
