Display 1000 as 1k using PHP

Question

I have beginners skills with PHP and hence need your help guys.

What i am trying to achieve is to round up a number for total shares count for a plugin.

my variable is $totalshare
i am using return $totalshare to dispaly the results

i would like to achieve results as following example:

1000 = 1k
1.230 = 1.2k
1489 = 1.5k
1.660 = 1.6k
.
.
.
15576 = 15.6k
.
.
1201200 = 12.02mil
1211200 = 12.12mil

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The principal question is here: What have you tried? SO is not a platform for getting things done your homework. — Black Sheep, Sep 06 '14 at 14:44

You can write like this,

function convertShares($shareValue){
    if($shareValue < 1000){
    return shareValue;
    }elseif($shareValue > 100000 ){
          return number_format($shareValue/100000,2) . "mil";
    }else{
        return number_format($shareValue/1000,2) . "k";
    }
  }
