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:
