	      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
