Description
array
localeconv ( void )
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:
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.

setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US");
$locale_info = localeconv();
echo "<pre>\n";
