	      $fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
	      echo "Pattern: ".numfmt_get_pattern($fmt)."
";
	      echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."
";
	      numfmt_set_pattern($fmt, "#0.# kg");
	      echo "Pattern: ".numfmt_get_pattern($fmt)."
";
	      echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."

	      ?>

       Example #2

	      OO example
