Examples

Example #1 numfmt_set_text_attribute example

<?php
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."\n";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
numfmt_set_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".numfmt_get_text_attribute($fmt, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."\n";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, -1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
?>

Example #2 OO example

<?php
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."\n";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
$fmt->setTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, "MINUS");
echo "Prefix: ".$fmt->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX)."\n";
echo $fmt->format(-1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
?>

The above example will output:

Prefix: -
-1.234.567,891
Prefix: MINUS
MINUS1.234.567,891
