than the number_format function returns an output like

outout : 1,000,000

so If we want to convert number into sort form in thousand, million, billion then we used another predefined PHP function number_format_short that will help to convert any number to it’s sort form like (Eg: 1.4K, 14.32M, 40B ) etc.
so in the below code we take an example which converts a number 1,43,20000 into 14.32M.

<?php 
    function number_format_short($n) {
        // first strip any formatting;
        $n = (0+str_replace(",", "", $n));
        // is this a number?
        if (!is_numeric($n)) return false;
         // now filter it;
        if ($n > 1000000000000) return round(($n/1000000000000), 2).'T';
        elseif ($n > 1000000000) return round(($n/1000000000), 2).'B';
        elseif ($n > 1000000) return round(($n/1000000), 2).'M';
        elseif ($n > 1000) return round(($n/1000), 2).'K';
 
        return number_format($n);
    }
echo number_format_short('14320000'); //14.32M

?>
