Example #1 numfmt_set_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";
?>
