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";?>

The above example will output:

Sep: .
1.234.567,891
Sep: *
