Example #1 msgfmt_get_pattern() example

<?php $fmt = msgfmt_create( "en_US", "{0, number} monkeys on {1, number} trees"  echo "Default pattern: '" . msgfmt_get_pattern( $fmt ) . "'\n"; echo "Formatting result: " . msgfmt_format( $fmt, array(123, 456) ) . "\n"; msgfmt_set_pattern( $fmt, "{0, number} trees hosting {1, number} monkeys"  echo "New pattern: '" . msgfmt_get_pattern( $fmt ) . "'\n"; echo "Formatted number: " . msgfmt_format( $fmt, array(123, 456) ) . "\n"; ?>

Example #2 OO example

<?php $fmt = new MessageFormatter( "en_US", "{0, number} monkeys on {1, number} trees"  echo "Default pattern: '" . $fmt->getPattern() . "'\n"; echo "Formatting result: " . $fmt->format(array(123, 456)) . "\n"; $fmt->setPattern("{0, number} trees hosting {1, number} monkeys"  echo "New pattern: '" . $fmt->getPattern() . "'\n"; echo "Formatted number: " . $fmt->format(array(123, 456)) . "\n"; ?>

The above example will output:

Default pattern: '{0,number} monkeys on {1,number} trees' Formatting result: 123 monkeys on 456 trees New pattern: '{0,number} trees hosting {1,number} monkeys' Formatted number: 123 trees hosting 456 monkeys
