NUMFMT_GET_SYMBOL(3) 1 NUMFMT_GET_SYMBOL(3)
NumberFormatter::getSymbol - Get a symbol value
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public string NumberFormatter::getSymbol (int $attr)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
string numfmt_get_symbol (NumberFormatter $fmt, int $attr)
Get a symbol associated with the formatter. The formatter uses symbols to represent the special locale-dependent characters in a number,
for example the percent sign. This API is not supported for rule-based formatters.
PARAMETERS
o $fmt
-NumberFormatter object.
o $attr
- Symbol specifier, one of the format symbol constants.
RETURN VALUES
The symbol string or FALSE on error.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
numfmt_get_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
OO example
<?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)."
";
echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
The above example will output:
Sep: .
1.234.567,891
Sep: *
1*234*567,891
