What is it that you are actually wanting it to do if you don't mind me
asking? And also what is the comma issue?

Hi Brady,

Thank you for the help. Will using this alternate way mess up the rest of
the code?
Also, based on the php.net page it should be $change, "string $from",
"string $to".
In this case should I write ($change, '.', ',') ??

Thanks,
 FayeC
