<?php
$fmt 
msgfmt_create"en_US""{0, number} monkeys on {1, number} trees" );
echo 
"Default pattern: '" msgfmt_get_pattern$fmt ) . "'\n";
echo 
"Formatting result: " msgfmt_format$fmt, array(123456) ) . "\n";

msgfmt_set_pattern$fmt"{0, number} trees hosting {1, number} monkeys" );
echo 
"New pattern: '" msgfmt_get_pattern$fmt ) . "'\n";
echo 
"Formatted number: " msgfmt_format$fmt, array(123456) ) . "\n";
?>

Example #2 OO example

<?php
$fmt 
= new MessageFormatter"en_US""{0, number} monkeys on {1, number} trees" );
echo 
"Default pattern: '" $fmt->getPattern() . "'\n";
echo 
"Formatting result: " $fmt->format(array(123456)) . "\n";

$fmt->setPattern("{0, number} trees hosting {1, number} monkeys" );
echo 
"New pattern: '" $fmt->getPattern() . "'\n";
echo 
"Formatted number: " $fmt->format(array(123456)) . "\n";
?>

The above example will output:

Default pattern: '{0,number} monkeys on {1,number} trees'
Formatting result: 123 monkeys on 456 trees
New pattern: '{0,number} trees hosting {1,number} monkeys'
