Solution 1:

Can use

  • http://pear.php.net/package/Numbers_Words

With Numbers_Words class you can convert numbers written in arabic digits to words in several languages. You can convert an integer between -infinity and infinity. If your system does not support such long numbers you can call Numbers_Words::toWords() with just a string.

With the Numbers_Words::toCurrency($num, $locale, 'USD') method you can convert a number (decimal and fraction part) to words with currency name.

Solution 2:

Try looking into NumberFormatter for PHP.

Sample Script:

<?php

$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
echo $f->format(123456);

?>

Produces the result: one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred fifty-six
