Have you tried anything or do you just want someone to code it for you? — millimoose, Feb 04 '12 at 22:03
Hhh, homework? Anyway: `$expontents = array( 1000000000 => 'billion', 1000000 = 'million', 1000 => 'thousand', 100 => 'hundred'); $decades = array( 10 => 'ten', 20 => 'twenty'), $numbers = array( 'zero', 'one', 'two'), $specials => array( 11 => 'eleven')` and `%<>+-*/, floor` is way to go :) — Vyktor, Feb 04 '12 at 22:06

Use Numbers_Words Pear package.

Example.

 require('Numbers/Words.php');
 $number = 150;
 $nw = new Numbers_Words();
 $numw = $nw->toWords($number);

 echo $numw; //one hundred fifty

Has anyone tried numbers greater than 999,999,999 (a billion and above)? 1,000,000,000 says "One Thousand Million" !? – burntblark Nov 09 '19 at 12:37
