Example #2 OO example

$res = $fmt->parse("4,560 monkeys on 123 trees make 37.073 monkeys per tree");
var_export($res);

$fmt = new MessageFormatter('de', "{0,number,integer} Affen auf {1,number,integer} Bäumen sind {2,number} Affen pro Baum");
$res = $fmt->parse("4.560 Affen auf 123 Bäumen sind 37,073 Affen pro Baum");
var_export($res);
?>

  1 => 123,
  2 => 37.073,
