NumberFormatter Gujarati - PHP

The NumberFormatter class in PHP provides a way to format numbers based on various locales. The Gujarati language is one of the locales that is supported by the NumberFormatter class.

Installation

The NumberFormatter class is part of the PHP Intl extension. To use it, you need to make sure that the Intl extension is installed and enabled in your PHP environment.

You can check whether the Intl extension is enabled by running the following command:

php -m | grep intl

If the command returns "intl", then the Intl extension is enabled.

If the command doesn't return anything, then you need to enable the Intl extension by editing your PHP configuration file and adding the following line:

extension=intl

Usage

To use the NumberFormatter class with the Gujarati locale, you need to create a new instance of the class with the "gu" locale identifier. Here's an example:

$formatter = new NumberFormatter('gu', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);

Once you have a NumberFormatter instance, you can use its format() method to format a number. Here's an example of formatting the number 123456.78:

echo $formatter->format(123456.78);

The output of this code will be:

૧,૨૩,૪૫૬.૭૮

This is the number 123456.78 formatted according to the Gujarati locale.

Customizing formatting options

The NumberFormatter class provides various options that allow you to customize the formatting of numbers. You can set these options using the setAttribute() method.

For example, you can use the setAttribute() method to set the grouping size for the thousands separator. Here's an example:

$formatter->setAttribute(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SIZE, 3);

This code sets the grouping size to 3, which means that the thousands separator will be inserted every 3 digits (e.g. 1,23,456 instead of 12,345,6).

You can also use the setPattern() method to set a custom formatting pattern. Here's an example:

$formatter->setPattern('#,##,##0.00');

This code sets the pattern to format a number with the thousands separator (,), the lakh separator (,), and the decimal separator (.).
