New Comment:
This is actually a libc problem, PHP just passes through the result of
the strfmon() library call. You can verify this using the following
small C test program, it can be built and run using
"make money_format && ./money_format" and it's result is
en_GB.UTF8 [GBP ] GBP100,000.70
en_US.UTF8 [USD ] USD 100,000.70
en_CA.UTF8 [CAD ] CAD100,000.70
en_AU.UTF8 [AUD ] AUD100,000.70
too

Description:
------------
I noticed that the money_format() function appears to work in an
inconsistent manner depending on the locale.
(Compare the expected output with the actual output)
I would expect GBP, CAD and AUD to be formatted the same as USD - i.e.
a space between the currency symbol and the numeric.
It's a minor issue with an easy workaround, but I'd thought I'd "do the
right thing" and raise a bug report.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$number = 100000.698 ;
$arrCountry = array ('GB', 'US', 'CA', 'AU') ;
foreach ($arrCountry as $currCountry) {
$locale = 'en_' . $currCountry . '.UTF-8';
setlocale (LC_MONETARY, $locale);
$locale_info = localeconv();
$currency = $locale_info['int_curr_symbol'];
$amount = money_format('%i', $number);
printf ("%s [%s] %s \n",$locale, $currency, $amount);
}
Expected result:
----------------
en_GB.UTF-8 [GBP ] GBP 100,000.70
en_US.UTF-8 [USD ] USD 100,000.70
en_CA.UTF-8 [CAD ] CAD 100,000.70
en_AU.UTF-8 [AUD ] AUD 100,000.70
Actual result:
--------------
en_GB.UTF-8 [GBP ] GBP100,000.70
en_US.UTF-8 [USD ] USD 100,000.70
en_CA.UTF-8 [CAD ] CAD100,000.70
en_AU.UTF-8 [AUD ] AUD100,000.70
