<?php
$fmt 
numfmt_create'de_DE'NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );

echo 
numfmt_format($fmt1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
numfmt_set_symbol($fmtNumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL"*");
echo 
"Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmtNumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo 
numfmt_format($fmt1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
?>

Example #2 OO example

$fmt 
= new NumberFormatter'de_DE'NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo 
"Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo 
$fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
$fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL"*");
echo 
"Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo 
$fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
