In PHP 5.3.0+ (on my local server) I have intl library installed. I use NumberFormatter class. I need it to convert floats to various formats (percentage, decimal, currency, etc.)
But on my real server I have PHP 5.2.14 installed. And I can’t update it (I’m not the owner).
Do you know (or use) some classes for formatting numbers? Can you recommend something? I need something like NSNumberFormatter in iOS, but on PHP.
How about using number_format? It is fairly limited compared to NumberFormatter, but might be enough for your needs.
Another option that might be more suitable for currency formatting is money_format, but that requires that all the locales are properly configured on the servers.
Yet another option is Zend_Currency, which offers very powerful currency formatting in various locales regardless of the server configuration. Zend Framework supports PHP 5.2.x.
