Hi everybody,
I've searched the docs for a generic way to format strings and numbers...
For example I have a brazilian zipcode witch is stored in database as
22252970 and must be formatted as NNNNN-NNN, where N is a number. Also
I have a tax id with is also stored as numeric value only, for example
05117635472 and outputted as NNN.NNN.NNN-NN... Is that any way that I
can do it generic, storing the formatting strings ('NNNNN- NNN') with
languages strings, so it is localised and this would be parsed as:
I don't think the format string for such data should be bound to the locale,
i.e. a brazilian zipcode should be formatted as stated regardless of whether
I view a page in english, french or spanish, no?
also take a good look at sprintf(), printf() & co:
http://php.net/sprintf
string::format($string, $format);
