I am considering using collators in PHP (I am no expert in PHP). Is there a way to know/list all collators available in PHP? I am looking for something similar to Java’s Collator.getAvailableLocales(). Thanks.

I think the
Collatoris using the locale information from the CLDR repository.I compiled a list from it’s current trunk (at the time of writing: 2020-02-23):
Or grouped:
You can see the base locale in the filename, e.g.
de.xml, when you go inside the file, you fined an element like this one:which lists additional Sublocales. Script and Territory is available in the file as well.
It takes some time until the CLDR data comes into Intl (C) which then is bind against PHP Intl extension. So cross check with the Intl library version / binding on your system. Just in case it differs a bit from your installation.
