Description

25,00 € is incorrect, the correct way to display euro sign is before the amount, as in: € 25,00. See also the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_sign This is for the locales nl_BE, fr_BE and others. There are however a few exceptions.

Please give an reproducable example. Running this code:


$currency = new Zend_Currency('nl_NL');
var_dump($currency->toCurrency(200));

I got the following output:


string '€ 200,00' (length=11)

This is expected and correct behaviour.

It is locale nl_BE not nl_NL


$currency = new Zend_Currency('nl_BE');
//or
$currency = new Zend_Currency('fr_BE');
var_dump($currency->toCurrency(200));

I got the following output:


string '200,00 €' (length=11)

Then please add an issue to Unicode. (http://www.unicode.org/cldr) Zend Framework uses the same localization database as many many other languages (Java, Python, C++,...)

And Unicode defines the currency syntax for nl_BE as "#,##0.00 ¤"

This results to an output like "1,000.00 €" and is correct according to the latest CLDR.

Still, when you think that Unicode is wrong for your case, you could simply change this with some options yourself.

Closing as non-issue Formatting is correct according to Unicode
