PHP Manual: Quick parse input string

Object-oriented style

public static arrayfalse MessageFormatter::parseMessage(string $locale, string $pattern, string $message)

Procedural style

arrayfalse msgfmt_parse_message(string $locale, string $pattern, string $message)

Parses input string without explicitly creating the formatter object. Use this function when the format operation is done only once and does not need any parameters or state to be kept.

locale: The locale to use for parsing locale-dependent parts
pattern: The pattern with which to parse the message.
message: The string to parse, conforming to the pattern.

Return Values

An array containing items extracted, or false on error

Examples

Example #1 msgfmt_parse_message example

<?php
$fmt = msgfmt_parse_message('en_US', "{0,number,integer} monkeys on {1,number,integer} trees make {2,number} monkeys per tree",
                            "4,560 monkeys on 123 trees make 37.073 monkeys per tree");
var_export($fmt);

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

Example #2 OO example

<?php
$fmt = MessageFormatter::parseMessage('en_US', "{0,number,integer} monkeys on {1,number,integer} trees make {2,number} monkeys per tree",
                            "4,560 monkeys on 123 trees make 37.073 monkeys per tree");
var_export($fmt);

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

The above example will output:

array (
  0 => 4560,
  1 => 123,
  2 => 37.073,
)
array (
  0 => 4560,
  1 => 123,
  2 => 37.073,
)
