Outputting Large Numbers

Usually when you output a large number (>14 digits), it takes it and turns it into an exponential expression (eg: 1.6E+15). Is there a way to change it so that it doesn't turn it into that and just keeps outputting all the digits?

The first two options that spring to mind would be assigning the value to a string variable type, or using the number_format() function (which returns the value as a string, and also groups the digits in blocks of three seperated by a comma, by default).

For example:

CODE

// If printed, would display '1.e+14'
$number = 100000000000000;
// If printed, would display the value as a string, exactly as you see it
// (the quotes indicate a string value)
$number = '100000000000000';
// If printed, would display the number with digit grouping
$number = number_format(1.e+14);

Hope that explains things for you.

Number format is good, I just used number_format($n,0,'','') the separator '', which achieved the desired affect.

I have a int column with numbers, and I want to show only the numbers between 5 and 20 in that

are less than 20 or greater than 5, but I can't manage to combine those two (Less than 20 AND
