Filters

NumberFormat

The NumberFormat filter can be used to return locale-specific number and percentage strings. It extends the NumberParse filter, which acts as wrapper for the NumberFormatter class within PHP's internationalization extension (ext/intl).

Basic Usage

$filter = new Zend\I18n\Filter\NumberFormat();

echo $filter->filter(1234567.8912346); // "1.234.567,891"

By default, if no locale is provided, NumberParse will use the system locale provide by PHP's Locale class and the getDefault() method.

(The above example assumes that the environment locale is set to de_DE.)

More Examples

Format a number as percent:

$filter = new Zend\I18n\Filter\NumberFormat('en_US', NumberFormatter::PERCENT);

echo $filter->filter(0.80); // "80%"

Format a number in a scientific format:

$filter = new Zend\I18n\Filter\NumberFormat('fr_FR', NumberFormatter::SCIENTIFIC);

echo $filter->filter(0.00123456789); // "1,23456789E-3"
