21.3. Outputting measurements

Measurements can be output in a number of different ways.

Automatic output

Outputting values

Output with unit of measurement

Output as localized string

21.3.1. Automatic output

Zend_Measure supports outputting of strings automatically.

Exemplo 21.7. Automatic output

<?php
require_once 'Zend/Measure/Length.php';

$locale = new Zend_Locale('de');
$mystring = "1.234.567,89 Meter";
$unit = new Zend_Measure_Length($mystring,Zend_Measure_Length::STANDARD, $locale);

echo $unit;
?>

[Nota] Measurement output

Output can be achieved simply by using echo or print .

21.3.2. Outputting values

The value of a measurement can be output using getValue().

Exemplo 21.8. Output a value

<?php
require_once 'Zend/Measure/Length.php';

$locale = new Zend_Locale('de');
$mystring = "1.234.567,89 Meter";
$unit = new Zend_Measure_Length($mystring,Zend_Measure_Length::STANDARD, $locale);

echo $unit->getValue();
?>

21.3.3. Output with unit of measurement

The function getType() returns the current unit of measurement.

Exemplo 21.9. Outputting units

<?php
require_once 'Zend/Measure/Weight.php';

$locale = new Zend_Locale('de');
$mystring = "1.234.567,89";
$unit = new Zend_Measure_Weight($mystring,Zend_Measure_Weight::POUND, $locale);

echo $unit->getType();
?>

21.3.4. Output as localized string

Outputtig a string in a format common in the users' country is usually desirable. For example, the measurement "1234567.8" would become "1.234.567,8" for Germany. This functionality will be supported in a future release.
