Hi,

Thanks!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But

numfmt_set_text_attribute
NUMFMT_SET_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE(3) 1 NUMFMT_SET_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE(3)
NumberFormatter::setTextAttribute - Set a text attribute
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public bool NumberFormatter::setTextAttribute (int $attr, string $value)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
bool numfmt_set_text_attribute (NumberFormatter $fmt, int $attr, string $value)
Set a text attribute associated with the formatter. An example of a text attribute is the suffix for positive numbers. If the formatter
does not understand the attribute, U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR error is produced. Rule-based formatters only understand NumberFormat-
ter::DEFAULT_RULESET and NumberFormatter::PUBLIC_RULESETS.
PARAMETERS
o $fmt
-NumberFormatter object.
o $attr
- Attribute specifier - one of the text attribute constants.
o $value
- Text for the attribute value.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
numfmt_set_text_attribute(3) example
<?php
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."
";
numfmt_set_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
Example #2
OO example
<?php
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."
";
$fmt->setTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."
";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."
";
?>
The above example will output:
Prefix: -
-1.234.567,891
Prefix: MINUS
MINUS1.234.567,891
