I use this line of code 

echo number_format  ($debit_sum_500to791,2);

Then it echo me the value if its Plus or minus

I want to filter the value of PLUS or Minus and get only the numbers.

example: if its -10 i need only 10

So i use this way 

echo (number_format  ($debit_sum_500to791,2),FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

but it does not working, come empty blank page

I think im not doing it right, so can any one help me with this problem ?

Just use abs

Any negative or positive value will become positive.

try like

filter_var($str, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

or

$str= '-10';
preg_match_all('!\d+!', $str, $matches);
echo $matches[0][0]; // 10
