I don't think it's built in, so I was wondering ya'll would recommend as the
best way to convert int to string, not basic type casting, but converting to
the english word the int represents.

Something like this:

5 = "Five" or 20 = "Twenty"

You're right - its not built in.

You could use something like this

function numerictotext($numeric) {
 for ($i;$i < strlen($numeric);$i++) {
   $character = substr($numeric,$i,1);
   switch ($character) {
     case 0:
       $return .= 'Zero ';
       break;
     case 1:
       $return .= 'One ';
       break;
   }
 }
 return $return;
}
