It worth to note that if $langtag array is empty this function returns empty string and not $default . Use array(false) if your $langtag array is empty in order to get default locale.

RFC 4647's lookup algorithm.
langtag
An array containing a list of language tags to compare to
locale

The closest matching language tag or default value.
Example #1 locale_lookup() example
<?php
$arr = array(
'de-DEVA',
'de-DE-1996',
'de',
'de-De'
);
echo locale_lookup($arr, 'de-DE-1996-x-prv1-prv2', true, 'en_US');
?>
Example #2 OO example
<?php
$arr = array(
'de-DEVA',
'de-DE-1996',
'de',
'de-De'
);
echo Locale::lookup($arr, 'de-DE-1996-x-prv1-prv2', true, 'en_US');
?>

It worth to note that if $langtag array is empty this function returns empty string and not $default . Use array(false) if your $langtag array is empty in order to get default locale.
Note that this method does not understand "similar" languages, so the following:
Locale::lookup(["en-US"], "en-GB", false);
Or:
Locale::lookup(["es-ES"], "es-CO", false);
Does not work as you would expect (empty result). To get a match in those cases you will have to use two letter language codes instead:
Locale::lookup(["en"], "en-GB", false);
Or:
Locale::lookup(["es"], "es-CO", false);
These do return 'en' and 'es' respectively.
