 * I currently have the following code:
 *     ```
       add_action('update_post_meta','dbp_wc_price_update_meta',10,4);
       function dbp_wc_price_update_meta($meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value){
       	if( in_array($meta_key,array('_price','_price_var') ) ){
       		$meta_value	= str_replace(',','.',$meta_value);
       	}
       return $meta_value;
       }
       ```
   
 * I want to make sure that there are no commas in the meta_value before it is saved.
   But with the hook and function above it is just saved as it is.
 * When I save 5,95 it still is saved as 5,95, but I want it to be saved as 5.95.

 * Could it be your `if` statement is evaluating `false`, so the function just returns
   the same `$meta_value` passed to it, unchanged.
