By default, the decimal separator in php (also in mysql) is a dot (.). So when we work with floats in Yii (in calculations, validation, sql statements etc.), the decimal separator has to be a dot. If we want to use for example a comma (,) as the decimal separator in our application, that is if we want to display numbers and enable users to enter numbers with a comma before the decimals, we have to:...

1. format the float value before printing/echoing : handle the output : 4.45 => "4,45"
[...]
```
