Example #1
numfmt_set_symbol(3) example
<?php
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."
";
numfmt_set_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
Example #2

<?php
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."
";
$fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
