The NumberFormatter class

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL intl >= 1.0.0)

Вступ

Programs store and operate on numbers using a locale-independent binary representation. When displaying or printing a number it is converted to a locale-specific string. For example, the number 12345.67 is "12,345.67" in the US, "12 345,67" in France and "12.345,67" in Germany.

By invoking the methods provided by the NumberFormatter class, you can format numbers, currencies, and percentages according to the specified or default locale. NumberFormatter is locale-sensitive so you need to create a new NumberFormatter for each locale. NumberFormatter methods format primitive-type numbers, such as double and output the number as a locale-specific string.

For currencies you can use currency format type to create a formatter that returns a string with the formatted number and the appropriate currency sign. Of course, the NumberFormatter class is unaware of exchange rates so, the number output is the same regardless of the specified currency. This means that the same number has different monetary values depending on the currency locale. If the number is 9988776.65 the results will be:

9 988 776,65 € in France
9.988.776,65 € in Germany
$9,988,776.65 in the United States

In order to format percentages, create a locale-specific formatter with percentage format type. With this formatter, a decimal fraction such as 0.75 is displayed as 75%.

For more complex formatting, like spelled-out numbers, the rule-based number formatters are used.

this class seems to be painful: it is not, formatting and parsing are highly customizable, but what you probably need is really simple:



if you want to localize a number use:



<?php

$a = new \NumberFormatter("it-IT", \NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);

echo $a->format(12345.12345) . "<br>"; // outputs 12.345,12

$a->setAttribute(\NumberFormatter::MIN_FRACTION_DIGITS, 0);

$a->setAttribute(\NumberFormatter::MAX_FRACTION_DIGITS, 100); // by default some locales got max 2 fraction digits, that is probably not what you want

echo $a->format(12345.12345) . "<br>"; // outputs 12.345,12345

?>



if you want to print money use:



<?php

$a = new \NumberFormatter("it-IT", \NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);

echo $a->format(12345.12345) . "<br>"; // outputs €12.345,12

?>



if you have money data stored as (for example) US dollars and you want to print them using the it-IT notation, you need to use



<?php

$a = new \NumberFormatter("it-IT", \NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);

echo $a->formatCurrency(12345, "USD") . "<br>"; // outputs $ 12.345,00 and it is formatted using the italian notation (comma as decimal separator)

?>



another useful example about currency (how to obtain the currency name by a locale string):



<?php

$frontEndFormatter = new \NumberFormatter("it-IT", \NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);

$adminFormatter = new \NumberFormatter("en-US", \NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);

$symbol = $adminFormatter->getSymbol(\NumberFormatter::INTL_CURRENCY_SYMBOL); // got USD

echo $frontEndFormatter->formatCurrency(12345.12345,  $symbol) . "<br>";

?>

The NumberFormatter class can be used to convert integer numbers to Roman numerals without a custom function using an array of symbols and associated values:

<?php

function intToRomanNumeral(int $num) {
    static $nf = new NumberFormatter('@numbers=roman', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
    return $nf->format($num);
}

echo intToRomanNumeral(2); // II

echo intToRomanNumeral(5); // V

echo intToRomanNumeral(10); // X

echo intToRomanNumeral(50); // L

echo intToRomanNumeral(57); // LVII
echo intToRomanNumeral(58); // LVIII

echo intToRomanNumeral(100); // C

echo intToRomanNumeral(150); // CL

echo intToRomanNumeral(1000); // M

echo intToRomanNumeral(10000); // ↂ

Here's an example of how to use PATTERN_DECIMAL to print a number with two fraction digits, use () for negative numbers and pad to five characters to the left of the decimal point, using spaces as the padding character:

<?php

$fmt = new NumberFormatter("en-CA", NumberFormatter::PATTERN_DECIMAL, "* #####.00 ;(* #####.00)");
echo $fmt->format(-45.1);

// Outputs: "  (45.10)"

?>

Note that the ; in the pattern denotes the beginning of a subpattern, which is used for negative numbers. Hence the brackets around the pattern after the semicolon.

Be aware that (at least with the locale 'fr-FR') NumberFormatter doesn't use spaces. It doesn't even use non breakable spaces (NBSP). It uses narrow non breakable spaces (NNBSP). This broke my tests.

<?php

$formatter = new NumberFormatter(
    'fr-FR',
    NumberFormatter::DEFAULT_STYLE
);

$value = $formatter->format(100_000); // '100 000'

// If you want to replace narrow non breakable spaces with non breakable spaces:

str_replace("\u{202F}", "\u{00A0}", $value);

// If you want to replace it with a normal space

str_replace("\u{202F}", " ", $value);

?>

Produces the result:

When using the `NumberFormatter` class for pretty-printing currency in PHP 7.3 and 8+, it's not clear from the documentation that you can use the empty string "" as the locale for the constructor, and that will retrieve the default locale (whatever it has been set to in your environment).

`formatCurrency()`, by contrast, does not accept the empty string for the default currency symbol; it will display a 'generic' currency symbol instead (¤).

Tested with PHP 7.4.30, 8.0.21, 8.1.8 under Ubuntu Linux and 8.1.8 under macOS Big Sur (11.6.8). I tried under other alternatives (e.g. Linux running on ARM chips, PHP 7.3.3) but sadly the `NumberFormatter` library does not seem to be present (or could not be found) on those systems...

Please pay attention to the Arabic decimal separator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Other_numeral_systems).

All the following conditions are true:
<?php
(new \NumberFormatter("ar_AE", \NumberFormatter::DEFAULT_STYLE))->getSymbol(\NumberFormatter::DECIMAL_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL) === '٫';
(new \NumberFormatter("ar_AE", \NumberFormatter::DEFAULT_STYLE))->getSymbol(\NumberFormatter::DECIMAL_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL) == '٫';

(new \NumberFormatter("ar_AE", \NumberFormatter::DEFAULT_STYLE))->getSymbol(\NumberFormatter::DECIMAL_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL) !== ',';
(new \NumberFormatter("ar_AE", \NumberFormatter::DEFAULT_STYLE))->getSymbol(\NumberFormatter::DECIMAL_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL) != ',';
?>

Be warned that this class sometimes lacks sufficient error output. I recently instantiated it while invalid pattern to the constructor.

    php -r '$nf = new \NumberFormatter("tlh-KX.UTF8", \NumberFormatter::IGNORE, "{,,#;#}");var_dump($nf->format(5));'

    Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on null in Command line code on line 1

Rather than emitting an error message or throwing an exception null is returned after calling new.

I'm not sure if it's fixed in PHP 7 but it's something to watch out for. Make sure you check your parameters very closely.
