PHP - Correct way to add space between numbers?

Question

Probably a simple problem if you know the answer.

What I have

Numbers with no spaces.

$str = 10000;
$str2 = 100000;

What I want

Convert above to below...

$str = '10 000';
$str2 = '100 000';

Own thoughts

I thought of some strpos, regexp, str_replace but is it really the way to solve this? I will accept the most correct, short code answer with no lack of speed.

Yes, its silly question, but one can optimize the code with better solution, so plz, its not always to Down-voted such question. — AB Bolim
