Sorry for asking this but, I cant found a solution that will get this -> 7,000 to 7000.
I'm using intval() and number_format() but it will just give me 7 not 7000.
$myVal = '7,000';
echo intval($myVal);
this returns 7
same goes with number_format()
what am I doing wrong?

Answer: Use the strval() Function You can simply use type casting or the strval() function to convert an integer to a string in PHP.
Basic number formatting In its most basic form, number_format() accepts a number to format, and returns a string containing the formatted number, rounded to the nearest whole number, with commas between each group of thousands: $myNumber = 1234567.89; // Displays "1,234,568" echo number_format( $myNumber );
The number_format() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to format a number with grouped thousands. It returns the formatted number on success otherwise it gives E_WARNING on failure. Syntax: string number_format ( $number, $decimals, $decimalpoint, $sep )
If you are using PHP >= 5.3 (or have the "intl" extension installed, with at least version 1.0) then you could also use the NumberFormatter class to parse a locale-specific number.
$myVal = '7,000';
$nf = new NumberFormatter("en_EN", NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
var_dump($nf->parse($myVal, NumberFormatter::TYPE_INT32));
# output: int(7000)
If you're using a PHP-version less than 5.3 you're better of using @KevinS. solution.

intval() won't work with the string you have because of the comma. You can remove the comma by using str_replace() and then calling intval() like so:
echo intval(str_replace(',', '', $myVal))
