** Introduction: With PEAR::Numbers_Words class you can change an integer number to simple words. This can be usefull when you need to spell a currency value e.g. on an invoice. You can choose between several languages (language files are located in Numbers/Words/ directory). BTW: if you need to change number to currency, use money_format() PHP function (available since 4.3 (not yet released)). But you must know that locale LC_MONETARY rules are sometimes unclear. ** Getting started: First you need to install Numbers_Words PEAR package. You can do it (as root) with: pear install Numbers_Words In your php script you need to load Numbers/Words.php header file: require_once('Numbers/Words.php'); Then you can call Numbers_Words::toWords() function with two arguments: integer number (can be a string with digits) and optional locale name (default is en_US): $ret = Numbers_Words::toWords($num,"en_GB"); if (PEAR::isError($ret)) { echo "Error: " . $ret->message . "\n"; } else { echo "Num $num in British English is '<b>$ret</b>'<p>\n"; } For this would display: Num 12340000000 in British English is '<b>twelve thousand million three hundred forty million</b>'<p> ** Current State: The current release can be found at the PEAR webpage: http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?package=Numbers_Words For the time of writting this Readme file, Numbers_spell package has the status beta, which means there can be samo bugs, and it is under development. This is not mature code. ** Development This package needs help from people, who can write language modules other than Polish and English. ** Package Content: Readme.txt - this file ChangeLog - change log test-numbers-words.php - test file showing Numbers_Words example usage Words.php - main class file, that loads language modules on demand Words/lang.{LOCALE_NAME}.php - language modules There are avaibale the following modules (called by locale name, in alphabetical order): az - Azerbaijani language. Author: Shahriyar Imanov bg - Bulgarian language (in WIN-1251 charset). Author: Kouber Saparev cs - Czech language. Author: Petr 'PePa' Pavel de - German language. Author: Piotr Klaban dk - Danish language. Author: Jesper Veggerby en_100 - Donald Knuth number naming system, in English language. Author: Piotr Klaban en_GB - British English notation of numbers, where one billion is 1000000 times one million. 1000 times million is just 'thousand million' here. I do not use a word billiard here, because English people do not use it often, and even could not know it. Author: Piotr Klaban en_US - American English notation of numbers, where one billion is 1000 times one million Author: Piotr Klaban es - Spanish (Castellano) language. Author: Xavier Noguer es_AR - Argentinian Spanish language. Author: Martin Marrese et - Estonian language. Author: Erkki Saarniit fr - French language. Author: Kouber Saparev fr_BE - French (Belgium) language. Author: Kouber Saparev, Philippe Bajoit he - Hebrew language. Author: Hadar Porat hu_HU - Hungarian language. Author: Nils Homp id - Indonesia language. Authors: Ernas M. Jamil, Arif Rifai Dwiyanto it_IT - Italian language. Authors: Filippo Beltramini, Davide Caironi lt - Lithuanian language.

Authors: Marcelo Subtil Marcal, Mario H.C.T., Igor Feghali ro_RO - Romanian language. Author: Bogdan Stancescu ru - Russian language. Author: Andrey Demenev sv - Swedish language. Author: Robin Ericsson tr_TR - Turkish language. Author: Shahriyar Imanov ** What if numbers have fraction part? You can split the number by the coma or dot. The example function was provided by Ernas M. Jamil (see below). I do not know if the splitting and concatenating numbers should be supported by Numbers_Words ... Does each language spell numbers with a 'coma'/'koma'? What do you think? function num2word($num, $fract = 0) { require_once('Numbers/Words.php'); $num = sprintf("%.".$fract."f", $num); $fnum = explode('.', $num); $ret = Numbers_Words::toWords($fnum[0],"id"); if(!$fract) return $ret; $ret .= ' koma '; // point in english $ret .= Numbers_Words::toWords($fnum[1],"id"); return $ret; } ** How to convert decimal part and not fraction part of the currency value? Rob King send me a patch that would allow to leave fraction part in digits. I.e. you can convert 31.01 into 'thirty-one pounds 01 pence': require_once('Numbers/Words.php'); require_once('Numbers/Words/lang.en_GB.php'); $obj = new Numbers_Words_en_GB; $convert_fraction = false; print $obj->toCurrencyWords('GBP', '31', '01', $convert_fraction) . "\n"; ** How to write new Language Files: Just copy existing en_US or en_GB etc. file into lang.{your_country/locale code}.php and translate digits, numbers, tousands to your language. Then please send it to the author to the address [email protected]. ** Credits All changes from other people are desrcribed with details in ChangeLog. There are also names of the people who send me patches etc. Authors of the language files are mentioned in the language files directly as the author.
