	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS

       publicstatic string Locale::composeLocale (array  $subtags)

DESCRIPTION

	Procedural style
       string locale_compose (array  $subtags)

	Returns  a correctly ordered and delimited locale ID the keys identify the particular locale ID subtags, and the values are the associated
       subtag values.

PARAMETERS

	      o $subtags
		- an array containing a list of key-value pairs, where the keys identify the particular locale ID subtags, and the values are  the
		associated subtag values.

	      Note

		      The 'variant' and 'private' subtags can take maximum 15 values whereas 'extlang' can take maximum 3 values.e.g. Variants are
		     allowed with the suffix ranging from 0-14. Hence the keys for the input array can be variant0,  variant1,	...,variant14.	In
		     the  returned  locale id, the subtag is ordered by suffix resulting in variant0 followed by variant1 followed by variant2 and
		     so on.

		      The 'variant', 'private' and 'extlang' multiple values can be specified both as array under specific  key  (e.g.	'variant')
		     and as multiple numbered keys (e.g. 'variant0', 'variant1', etc.).

RETURN VALUES

	The corresponding locale identifier.
