What happened?

When use number_to_currency() in PHP 8.1, it will throw NumberFormatter::setAttribute(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($value) of type int|float is deprecated exceptions. It doesn't occur on PHP 8.0.13 and older, much like problem discussed in #5371 because of PHP 8.1 disallow null type on non-nullable. It makes problem since $fraction is null by default and NumberFormatter::setAttribute() won't accept null variables.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply call to number_to_currency() with default value

<?php

namespace App\Modules\Home\Controllers;

use App\Controllers\BaseController;

class Home extends BaseController
{
 public function index()
 {
 echo number_to_currency(1000000.00, 'IDR');
 }
}

Expected Output

It should handle currency format as expected.

Anything else?
