Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
$str1 = "2,543.12";
// Define the original string.

$x = str_replace( ',', '', $str1);
// Remove all commas from the original string.

if( is_numeric($x))
// Check if the resulting string is numeric.
{
  echo $x."\n";
  // If numeric, echo the modified string.
}
?>

Sample Output:

2543.12 

Explanation:

The above PHP code snippet removes all commas from the string "2,543.12" using the str_replace() function.

• str_replace(',', '', $str1) removes all occurrences of the comma , from the original string $str1, resulting in the string '2543.12'.
• The is_numeric() function checks if the resulting string $x is numeric.
• If $x is numeric, it echoes out the modified string '2543.12'.

So, the output of this code would be 2543.12.
