php money_format in symfony

[aroncal]

Hello:

I'm trying to use "money_format" native function to print some currencies; i set the monetary locale as this:

Code: Select all

<?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'it_IT'); ?>

And then use the function to print:

Code: Select all

<?php echo money_format('%.2n', 1260.99); ?>

And i get US format:

Code: Select all

$ 1,260.99

The user language preference is set as it_IT and symfony gets it ok. I've been googling a lot but found no answer about the relationship (if any) between PHP's "setLocale(...)" and Symfony's Locale.

I'm using symfony 1.4. Thanks in advance.
