numfmt_get_symbol — Get a symbol value

### Description

Object oriented style

string NumberFormatter::getSymbol ( integer `$attr` )

Procedural style

string numfmt_get_symbol ( NumberFormatter `$fmt` , integer `$attr` )

Get a symbol associated with the formatter. The formatter uses symbols to represent the special locale-dependent characters in a number, for example the percent sign. This API is not supported for rule-based formatters.

### Parameters

`fmt`

  NumberFormatter object.

`attr`

  Symbol specifier, one of the format symbol constants.

### Return Values

The symbol string or `FALSE` on error.

### Examples

Example#1 numfmt_get_symbol() example

`<?php
$fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
numfmt_set_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
?>`

Example#2 OO example

`<?php
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
$fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."\n";
echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."\n";
?>`

The above example will output:

    Sep: .
    1.234.567,891
    Sep: *
    1*234*567,891
