[RESOLVED] Converting an Int To a String?

[knashash]

Is there anyway to convert something like 543.75 to a full textual representation like,

Five Hundred Forty Three and 75/100

Want to try and use it for writing checks.

Thanks in advance.

[saraadmin]

no, but making that sort of thing work is the joy of programming computers!

Have fun!

Of course there is!

I believe Weedpacket wrote something similar... oh where DID that go...

EDIT: Here we go...

This is Weedpacket's overkill version...

... and this is a num2words() function in the PHP manual.

They're a good starting point... you'll have to do the rest for the form you want (shouldn't be too hard... split the string on the decimal, use num2words on the first part (dollar amount), and simply display the second part over 100... might want to do some error-checking to make sure they didn't enter cents > 100).

Thanks for replys:....I actually wrote it out myself before I looked at any links. Takes care of any number under 1000, which is all I needed.

Here it is in case anyone wants it: Im sure its not coded in the best way but it works fine. Just pass any number under 1000 into changeNumber and it will return the textual representation.

function changeNumber($number)
{
$numberArray = explode(".",$number);
$number_F = trim($numberArray[0]);
$number_D = trim($numberArray[1]);
$firstDigit = substr($number_F,0,1);
if (!$number_D) $number_D ="00";
if ($number_D < 10 && $number_D >= 1) $number_D = $number_D."0";
$textNumber = "";

if ($number_F > 99)
{
	if ($firstDigit == 1) $textNumber = "One Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 2) $textNumber = "Two Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 3) $textNumber = "Three Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 4) $textNumber = "Four Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 5) $textNumber = "Five Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 6) $textNumber = "Six Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 7) $textNumber = "Seven Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 8) $textNumber = "Eight Hundred";
	if ($firstDigit == 9) $textNumber = "Nine Hundred";

	$lastDigits = substr($number_F,1,2);
	$lastDigitsString = change2DigitNumber($lastDigits);

	$textNumber = "$textNumber $lastDigitsString and $number_D/100";

	return $textNumber;
}

if ($number_F < 100 && $number_F>9)
{

	$twoDigitString = change2DigitNumber($number_F);
	$textNumber = "$twoDigitString and $number_D/100";

	return $textNumber;
}

if ($number_F < 10)
{
	if ($number_F == 1) $textNumber = "One";
	if ($number_F == 2) $textNumber = "Two";
	if ($number_F == 3) $textNumber = "Three";
	if ($number_F == 4) $textNumber = "Four";
	if ($number_F == 5) $textNumber = "Five";
	if ($number_F == 6) $textNumber = "Six";
	if ($number_F == 7) $textNumber = "Seven";
	if ($number_F == 8) $textNumber = "Eight";
	if ($number_F == 9) $textNumber = "Nine";
	$textNumber = "$number_F and $number_D/100";

	return $textNumber;
}

See, told you: its much more fun to roll you own!

[knashash]

Haha...Amen to that

gigantic eyeroll Just don't forget to mark the thread resolved before you light up. Erm, implement the code... that's what I meant...
