For all those who marked this as a duplicate, did you actually read the question? **I need 234 as two three four**, and the guy already knows about the scripts available to convert 234 into two hundred and thirty four. – Burhan Khalid Oct 14 '14 at 04:22

It would be as simple as creating an array of your number to word map, then taking your number and printing out the corresponding value:
<?php
$num_word = array();
$num_word[0] = 'zero';
$num_word[1] = 'one';
$num_word[2] = 'two'
...
$num_word[9] = 'nine';
$num = 234;
foreach(str_split($num) as $w) {
echo $num_word[$w];
}
?>

since that the maximum number word that he need is nine, you can do this – Kelvin Barsana Oct 14 '14 at 03:56

+1, but don't forget a space when echoing, or you'll just get a strand of words. – Dave Chen Oct 14 '14 at 04:05

Thank you Burhan! This is exactly what I was trying to do. Amazing how useful this site can be at an amazing speed too. – Kory Le Oct 14 '14 at 04:25

To add onto this, if I wanted to only print certain indexs, would that be possible with a foreach loop? For example if I wanted to print 2345 as three four (only the 2 middle numbers). Sorry my book that I'm currently using isn't very helpful. – Kory Le Oct 14 '14 at 04:34
