PHP is a programming language designed to be embedded into web pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is an internationalization extension, enabling PHP programmers
|
||
|
|
to perform UCA-conformant collation and date/time/number/currency formatting
|
||
|
|
in their scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It tends to closely follow ICU APIs, so that people having experience
|
||
|
|
working with ICU in either C/C++ or Java could easily use the PHP
|
||
|
|
API. Also, this way ICU documentation would be useful to understand
|
||
|
|
various ICU functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Intl consists of several modules, each of them exposes the corresponding ICU
|
||
|
|
API:
|
||
|
|
* Collator: provides string comparison capability with support
|
||
|
|
for appropriate locale-sensitive sort orderings.
|
||
|
|
* Number Formatter: allows to display number according to the
|
||
|
|
localized format or given pattern or set of rules, and to parse
|
||
|
|
strings into numbers.
|
||
|
|
* Message Formatter: allows to create messages incorporating
|
||
|
|
data (such as numbers or dates) formatted according to given
|
||
|
|
pattern and locale rules, and parse messages extracting data
|
||
|
|
from them.
|
||
|
|
* Normalizer: provides a function to transform text into one
|
||
|
|
of the Unicode normalization forms, and provides a routine to
|
||
|
|
test if a given string is already normalized.
|
||
|
|
* Locale: provides interaction with locale identifiers in the
|
||
|
|
form of functions to get subtags from locale identifier; parse,
|
||
|
|
compose, match(lookup and filter) locale identifiers.
