How can PHP handle floating point values with commas instead of periods in an INSERT statement?

When inserting floating point values with commas instead of periods in PHP, you can use the str_replace() function to replace commas with periods before executing the INSERT statement. This ensures that the database interprets the values correctly as floating point numbers. 

// Sample floating point value with comma instead of period
$value = "10,5";

// Replace commas with periods
$value = str_replace(',', '.', $value);

// INSERT statement with the corrected floating point value
$query = "INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) VALUES ('$value')";
