#45833 [NEW]: Enable MessageFormatter to select custom currency

From: mathieuk at gmail dot com Operating system: MacOSX PHP version: 5.3.0alpha1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Enable MessageFormatter to select custom currency Description: ------------ Feature Request for the intl extension The MessageFormatter is capable of formatting a number in a currency format. This is only marginally useful because it always uses the currency symbol for the locale given to it. It probably wouldn't be uncommon to want to display a currency in your own currency format, but using a different currency symbol. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $msgfmt = MessageFormatter::create('nl_NL', 'Price (USD): {0,number,currency}'); /* I'm assuming the format {0,number,currency} is not editable to something like {0,number,currency,USD} because it is defined in a underlying library. So I propose the following new method: */ $msgfmt->setCurrency('USD'); echo $msgfmt->format(array(15.95)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Price (USD): $ 15,00 Actual result: -------------- (without the imagined setCurrency call) Price (USD): € 15,00 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45833&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45833&r=mysqlcfg
