javascript - Cant remove whitespace from number (PHP/JS) -

i have magento store need remove whitespace number can use later on dividing price , stuff.

the code simple this:

<script> var newprice = <?php echo $newprice;?> document.write(newprice); </script> 

if price less 1000 (three numbers), outputs correctly. if price 4 numbers, wont output @ all. though can see source code variable stored correctly, example:

var newprice = 1 089 

what need remove whitespace, doesnt seem easy. have tried:

var newprice = "<?php echo $newprice;?>" // quotes document.write(parseint(newprice)); 

this outputs "1". have tried following code, outputs 1 089 (with whitespace):

document.write(newprice.replace(" ", "")); 

any ideas?

this odd. smell rat. think 'space' see may not space (ascii character code 32) other character maybe isn't in character set. in site set utf-8?

normally expect see comma or period here: "1,089" or "1.089". thousands separator set in php locale. see output of localeconv()

i recommend study $newprice set within magento code. think string. string displaying price in way makes sense humans.

for little computer needs number instead of string might better $_product->getfinalprice(); returns float or such function gets price number instead of human readable string.

failing that, based on suspicion 'space' not char(32), brute force preg_replace(anything isn't digit, period or comma) may more effective string replacements (notwithstanding multi-byte character codes):

var newprice = <?php echo(preg_replace("#[^0-9\.\,].#","",(string)$newprice).";"); ?>
