About:
The php-intl extension provides a powerful and robust internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) framework for PHP applications. It acts as a wrapper around the mature ICU (International Components for Unicode) library, enabling developers to handle complex locale-specific formatting, collation, and character encoding. This extension is essential for building global-ready applications that require consistent behavior across different languages and regions.
Key Features:
  • Locale-aware number, date, and time formatting
  • String collation and comparison for multilingual text
  • BreakIterator for word, sentence, and line boundary analysis
  • Transliteration for converting text between scripts
Use Cases:
  • Formatting currency and dates according to user's local conventions
  • Sorting lists of names or strings in a linguistically correct order
  • Processing and analyzing multilingual text content
Alternatives:
  • native PHP string functions – Limited to basic ASCII operations; lacks locale awareness and complex Unicode support provided by php-intl.
