Zend_Currency
is part of the strong support for i18n in Zend Framework. It handles all issues
related to currency, money representation and formatting. It also provides additional
methods which provide localized information on currencies, such as which currency is used
in which region.
Zend_Currency
offers the following functions for handling currency manipulations.
Complete Locale support
Zend_Currency
works with all available locales and therefore knows about over 100 different localized currencies. This includes
currency names, abbreviations, money signs and more.
Reusable Currency Definitions
Zend_Currency
does not include the value of the currency. This is the reason why
its functionality is not included in Zend_Locale_Format
. Zend_Currency
has the
advantage that already defined currency representations can be reused.
Fluent Interface
Zend_Currency
includes fluent interfaces where possible.
Additional Methods
Zend_Currency
includes additional methods that offer information about
which regions a currency is used in or which currency is used in a specified region.
