Subject: Intl extension class MessageFormatter instantiation returns NULL
From: chrisstocktonaz@gmail.com (Chris Stockton)

Hello,

I am trying to use ChoiceFormat in the Intl extension. When I try to
do something like:

$r =3D new MessageFormatter("en", "There are {0=E2=89=A4are no files|1=E2=
=89=A4is one
file|1<are many files} ok");
// $r is NULL

This may be a incorrect use, but my thought is that regardless null
should not be returned because no error code or error message can be
returned. I also can not think of a single case off the top of my head
when new does not return a object (aside from a exception being thrown
on instantiation).

I am struggling to find documentation on plural usage. There is no
"ChoiceFormatter" class so it is my assumption that message formatter
parses that format. I would very much appreciate if someone was able
to point me in the right direction. My apologies if this may have been
better suited on PECL list, but subscribing appears down and I am
hastily in search for a answer.
