+ Description
+
+
+ array localeconv
+
+
+
+
+ Returns an associative array containing localized numeric and monetary
+ formatting information.
+
+
+ localeconv returns data based upon the current locale
+ as set by setlocale. The associative array that is
+ returned contains the following fields:
+
+
+
+
+ Array element
+ Description
+
+
+
+
+ decimal_point
+ Decimal point character
+
+
+ thousands_sep
+ Thousands separator
+
+
+ grouping
+ Array containing numeric groupings
+
+
+ int_curr_symbol
+ International currency symbol (i.e. USD)
+
+
+ currency_symbol
+ Local currency symbol (i.e. $)
+
+
+ mon_decimal_point
+ Monetary decimal point character
+
+
+ mon_thousands_sep
+ Monetary thousands seperator
+
+
+ mon_grouping
+ Array containing monetary groupings
+
+
+ positive_sign
+ Sign for positive values
+
+
+ negative_sign
+ Sign for negative values
+
+
+ int_frac_digits
+ International fractional digits
+
+
+ frac_digits
+ Local fractional digits
+
+
+ p_cs_precedes
+ True if currency_symbol precedes a positive value, false if it succeeds one
+
+
+ p_sep_by_space
+ True if a space seperates currency_symbol from a positive value, false otherwise
+
+
+ n_cs_precedes
+ True if currency_symbol precedes a negative value, false if it succeeds one
+
+
+ n_sep_by_space
+ True if a space seperates currency_symbol from a negative value, false otherwise
+
+
+ p_sign_posn
+
+
+ 0
+ Parentheses surround the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 1
+ The sign string precedes the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 2
+ The sign string succeeds the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 3
+ The sign string immediately precedes the currency_symbol
+ 4
+ The sign string immediately succeeds the currency_symbol
+
+
+
+
+ n_sign_posn
+
+
+ 0
+ Parentheses surround the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 1
+ The sign string precedes the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 2
+ The sign string succeeds the quantity and currency_symbol
+ 3
+ The sign string immediately precedes the currency_symbol
+ 4
+ The sign string immediately succeeds the currency_symbol
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ The grouping fields contain arrays that define the way numbers should be grouped.
+ For example, the grouping field for the en_US locale, would contain a 2 item array
+ with the values 3 and 3. The higher the index in the array, the farther left the
+ grouping is. If an array element is equal to CHAR_MAX, no further grouping is done.
+ If an array element is equal to 0, the previous element should be used.
