echo "Default pattern: '" . msgfmt_get_pattern( $fmt ) . "'\n";

Example #2 OO example

$fmt = new MessageFormatter( "en_US", "{0, number} monkeys on {1, number} trees" );
echo "Default pattern: '" . $fmt->getPattern() . "'\n";
echo "Formatting result: " . $fmt->format(array(123, 456)) . "\n";

$fmt->setPattern("{0, number} trees hosting {1, number} monkeys" );
