attr
Symbol specifier, one of the format symbol constants.
value
Text for the symbol.
Returns true on success or false on failure.
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"; ?>
The above example will output:
Sep: . 1.234.567,891 Sep: * 1*234*567,891
