Basic usage of this extension

Each module provides two kind of APIs: a procedural one and an object oriented one. Both are actually identical and described in the corresponding document.

Nota:

All input strings must be in UTF-8 encoding. All output strings are also in UTF-8.

Example #1 Example of using the procedural API

<?php
$coll
= collator_create('en_US');
$result = collator_compare($coll, "string#1", "string#2");
?>

Example #2 Example of using the object-oriented API

<?php
$coll
= new Collator('en_US');
$al = $coll->getLocale(Locale::ACTUAL_LOCALE);
echo
"Actual locale: $al\n";

$formatter = new NumberFormatter('en_US', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
echo
$formatter->format(1234567);
?>
