Each module provides two kind of APIs: a procedural one and an object oriented one. Both are actually identical and described in the corresponding document.
Note: All input strings must be in UTF-8 encoding. All output strings are also in UTF-8.
Example #1 Example of using the procedural API
<?php $coll = collator_create('en_US'); $result = collator_compare($coll, "string#1", "string#2"); ?>
Example #2 Example of using the object-oriented API
<?php $coll = new Collator('en_US'); $al = $coll->getLocale(Locale::ACTUAL_LOCALE); echo "Actual locale: $al\n"; $formatter = new NumberFormatter('en_US', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL); echo $formatter->format(1234567); ?>
