PHPExcel get cell currency format other than $ and EUR - phpexcel

Question

PHPExcel uses $ and EUR only:
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_USD_SIMPLE = '"$"#,##0.00_-';
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_USD = '$#,##0_-';
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_EUR_SIMPLE = '[$EUR ]#,##0.00_-';
What I need is to get other currencies (I use "zł" for polish zloty). All currencies excep $ and EUR are marked as 'General'.
Follow-up question to SWilk's answer: How do I use custom format. I put new constants in NumberFormat.php:
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_1 = '_-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-';
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_2 = '\-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-';
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_3 = '_-* "-&quot';
const FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_4 = '??\ [$zł-415]_-;_-#_-';
is it ok? What else I have to do to read formats using
$objPHPExcel->getCellXfByIndex($cell->getXfIndex())->getNumberFormat()->getFormatCode();

Answer 1

Default constants are defined for Dollars and Euros only, but PHPExcel doesn't limit you to those constant constant values only. They're simply strings; and you can set any valid MS Excel format code as the numberFormat mask simply by setting it to the appropriate string value. It generally isn't a good idea to add your own new constants to numberFormat.php though, as you'll need to remember to add them whenever you upgrade to a new version of PHPExcel... it's better to define additional constants in your own code.
You can apply a currency format to cells using:
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->getStyle('E4:E13')
->getNumberFormat()
->setFormatCode(
'_-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-'
);
Or, if you define a new constant of your own using
define('FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_1', '_-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-');
then you can apply it to your cells using
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->getStyle('E4:E13')
->getNumberFormat()
->setFormatCode(
FORMAT_CURRENCY_PLN_1
);

Answer 2

I have saved a simple excel file with one cell formatted as currency cell denominated in PLN. Unzipped the .xlsx and checked the format.
It is:
_-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-;\-* #,##0.00\ [$zł-415]_-;_-* "-"??\ [$zł-415]_-;_-#_-
Try using this format or writing your own based on this one.

Answer 3

for UK Pound (Sterling) phpExcel
$numformat= '£#,##0_-';
$activeSheet->getStyle($cell)->getNumberFormat()->setFormatCode($numformat);
$activeSheet->setCellValue($cell,$val4);
I found out the correct value by unzipping an xlsx with a cell formatted as currency £ (or a cell with a £ entered into to it: seemed to be the same formatting)
