need to grab a number with a comma

I have a script which used to work as the numbers were a solid set of numbers, no commas. Now the numbers I am grabbing sometimes have a comma in them so it only grabs the numbers before the comma
Code: Select all
preg_match("/(\d+) friend/", $html, $msfc);

Escape the parentheses with backslashes just like you do in other languages \( \).
