Number to text converting PHP class

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

One thing that gets asked quite a bit on forums is how to convert a number into words in PHP, so I thought I’d write a small class that can do this

Here is the code for the class

        'Nine', );
 
    private $_teen_nums = array(0 => 'Ten', 1 => 'Eleven', 2 => 'Twelve', 3 => 'Thirteen', 4 => 'Fourteen', 5 => 'Fifteen', 6 => 'Sixteen', 7 =>
        'Seventeen', 8 => 'Eighteen', 9 => 'Nineteen', );
 
    private $_tens_nums = array(2 => 'Twenty', 3 => 'Thirty', 4 => 'Forty', 5 => 'Fifty', 6 => 'Sixty', 7 => 'Seventy', 8 => 'Eighty', 9 =>

    function __construct($number) {
        $this->_original = trim($number);

    public function parse($new_number = NULL) {
        if($new_number !== NULL) {

        }
        if($this->_original == 0) return 'Zero';
 
        $num = str_split($this->_original, 1);
        krsort($num);
        $chunks = array_chunk($num, 3);
        krsort($chunks);
 
        $final_num = array();
        foreach ($chunks as $k => $v) {

                $final_num[$k] = $temp;
                if (isset($this->_chunks_nums[$k]) && $this->_chunks_nums[$k] != '') {
                    $final_num[$k] .= ' '.$this->_chunks_nums[$k];
                }
            }
        }
        $this->_parsed_number_text = implode(', ', $final_num);
        return $this->_parsed_number_text;
    }
 
    public function __toString() {
        return $this->_parsed_number_text;
    }
 
    private function _parse_num($num) {
        $temp = array();
        if (isset($num[2])) {
            if (isset($this->_single_nums[$num[2]])) {
                $temp['h'] = $this->_single_nums[$num[2]].' Hundred';
            }
        }
 
        if (isset($num[1])) {
            if ($num[1] == 1) {
                $temp['t'] = $this->_teen_nums[$num[0]];
            } else {
                if (isset($this->_tens_nums[$num[1]])) {
                    $temp['t'] = $this->_tens_nums[$num[1]];
                }
            }
        }
 
        if (!isset($num[1]) || $num[1] != 1) {
            if (isset($this->_single_nums[$num[0]])) {
                if (isset($temp['t'])) {
                    $temp['t'] .= ' '.$this->_single_nums[$num[0]];
                } else {
                    $temp['u'] = $this->_single_nums[$num[0]];
                }
            }
        }
        return implode(' and ', $temp);
    }
}

Using this class is as simple as using two lines of code such as

PHP Code
1
2

$n2t = new num2text('123456');
echo $n2t;

Should you wish to parse more than one string after this, you can use

PHP Code
1

echo $n2t->parse('87654321');

It really is that simple to use
Please be aware that in order for all numbers to work, you must enter them as strings
