Examples

Example #1 numfmt_get_symbol() example


<?php

$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );

echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";

echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."\n";

numfmt_set_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");

echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";

echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."\n";

?>

Example #2 OO example


<?php

$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );

echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";

echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";

$fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");

echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";

echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
