Hi, I'm trying to change the output format of number custom fields (that represent prices).
The IDs of those custom fields are
prix_vente_bien
loyer-mensuel_bien
prix_net_vendeur_bien
charges_bien
taxe_fonciere

I've played with the code provided there: https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-meta/ and there https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
but I'm unable to make it work.
I don't care how it shows in the custom field but I would like it to be output with this format when I pull the data in the builder (if it makes sense).

I'm trying to have this format XXX XXX XXX,XX :
```
$number = 1234.56;

$nombre_format_francais = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');
// 1 234,56
```
Could you help me with that?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello there,

Can you please let me know the code you use to output the field value? And where did you add the code?

I do not see any issue with the format function above. Here is an example:
```
$number = rwmb_meta( 'number_9htwx774glj' );
 // French notation
$nombre_format_francais = number_format( $number, 2, ',', ' ' );
echo $nombre_format_francais;
```

Hi Peter, thanks a lot, the code above doesn't work (I used it with the ID of my custom field). How am I suppose to put it?

I put it like that:
```
<?php 
$number = rwmb_meta( 'my-custom-fild-id' );
$nombre_format_francais = number_format( $number, 2, ',', ' ' );
echo $nombre_format_francais;
```
Isn't it suppose to be this way?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello,

Here is how it displays on my side https://monosnap.com/file/wsptuGxuFs6LNhEGfhHgh4s0HrJUWh

I do not see any issue with the format code. Can you please share some screenshots of the issue on your side?

And what I get = a number displayed on top of all pages and no formatting of the field:

Thanks a lot for your support

Hello,

So if you only add the code to output the field value, does it display the correct field value?
```
$number = rwmb_meta( 'my-custom-field-id' );
echo $number;
```
If not, you can try to pass the post ID to the helper function to get the field value of a specific post.

$number = rwmb_meta( 'my-custom-field-id', '', 123 );

where 123 is the post ID. Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/functions/rwmb-meta/
